The city budget, FY 2026-27
Where Norwalk’s budget stands: the Board of Estimate and Taxation’s calendar and documents from the city’s own meeting portal, the budget items on every board’s agenda, and the figures of record — transcribed by hand from official sources, never estimated.
Hand-verified figures and dates sit beside the Board of Estimate and Taxation’s live calendar. Nothing here is drafted or inferred: every number links to the official document it was read from.
This season’s budget cycle has closed. The FY 2026-27 season ran February 1 – June 30, 2026. The Board of Estimate and Taxation meets year-round; its calendar and documents below stay current.
This season’s key dates
The numbers
Figures not yet transcribed. The proposed and adopted operating budgets and the current and proposed mill rates appear here only once a person has read them from the city’s own budget documents. This site does not estimate, carry forward or compute a budget figure.

Mill rate, as stated in the minutes
The Board of Estimate and Taxation publishes no Actions document, so its decisions exist only inside its minutes, which this site stores but does not parse. Where a line of a minutes document names the mill rate beside a figure, it is quoted here verbatim as a pointer to that document — as stated in the minutes; not verified by this site. Read the document for the decision itself.
How this page is made
Two kinds of fact, kept apart. The key dates, the figures and the official links are transcribed by a person from an official source into a data file in this site’s repository; each carries the link it was read from and the date it was checked, and the site refuses to build if either is missing. An empty section means nothing has been verified yet — not that nothing happened.
The calendar, the agenda items and the documents are public records read from the city’s CivicClerk meeting portal, the same feed behind every meeting page on this site. Agenda items are matched on their verbatim title against a fixed list of budget words; nothing is classified or summarised. No language model is involved anywhere on this page.
The city’s own budget pages are linked, never fetched: this site’s software never requests norwalkct.gov. Corrections: how to reach us.
