Larimer County Proposes $746 Million Budget for 2027

Larimer County has proposed a budget for 2027 as the county faces declining revenues.

The proposal

The proposed budget totals for 2027. It represents the county’s planned spending framework for that budget year.

Revenue outlook

The county is preparing the proposal amid declining revenues. That condition creates a budget-setting challenge because the county is planning spending while expecting less revenue.

What the proposal means

A proposed budget is a plan rather than a final spending decision. The proposal identifies the total amount under consideration, while additional action would be needed before the 2027 budget is final.

The available details do not identify the services, departments or individual programs included in the proposal. They also do not specify how the county would respond to the revenue decline.

Next steps

The county’s budget process will determine whether the proposal is adopted and whether its total or individual allocations change. Residents should watch for county announcements about the proposal and any formal action on the 2027 budget.
