At its meeting on April 22, 2025, the Prince William Board of County Supervisors adopted the Fiscal Year 2026 Budget, prioritizing strategic investments that address the community\u2019s growing needs while maintaining fiscal responsibility.<\/p>\n
The FY2026 Budget supports the county\u2019s Strategic Plan goals, with key investments in education, public safety, quality of life, infrastructure and essential services. These investments are balanced through a mix of tax rate adjustments and adherence to the county\u2019s Principles of Sound Financial Management.<\/p>\n
\u201cPrince William County is a growing community, and with that comes increased demand for services and quality of life amenities,\u201d said Chair At-Large Deshundra Jefferson. \u201cThis is a responsible, balanced budget that meets those needs while aligning with our fiscal policies. I want our county to be known for its quality of life \u2013 and that means investing in our schools, public safety, parks and services for our most vulnerable residents.\u201d<\/p>\n
