Getting Involved - Your Input Matters!

Every year by mid-July, each Arizona city and town is required by law to adopt a balanced budget that is open to citizen input and participation. Annually, before the budget is adopted, residents are given the opportunity to provide input into determining what is important in their community and how much they are willing to pay for services they choose.

The Town of Queen Creek strives each year to excel in its budget process and presentation. The Town was once again awarded the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) for the 2022/23 fiscal year.

To receive the award, a municipality must publish a budget document that meets program criteria as a policy document, an operations guide, a financial plan and a communication device.
