Budget in Brief: An Overview of the Fiscal 2026 Proposed Budget

We appreciate your continued engagement with the budget process! Last week, the county's proposed fiscal year 2026 budget was presented to the Board of County Commissioners.

We have developed a new Budget-in-Brief document to provide residents with a quick overview of the proposed budget. It is your go-to guide for fast facts on where county funding comes from and how it plans to be invested.

You can check out the Budget-in-Brief on the right-hand side of the Budget Engage project page, under Supporting Documents: https://charlescountymd.info/Fiscal2026BudgetEngage.

There’s still time to provide input on the proposed budget! Don’t miss out on the budget hearing happening tomorrow, May 7 at 6 p.m. at the Charles County Government building.
