FY26 Budget Hot Takes

From roads and water to parks and public safety, the FY26 budget touches every part of life in Round Rock. This year’s budget of $789.7 million funds core services and voter-approved projects, including 17 new public safety positions, two new fire stations, investments in new and existing streets, major improvements to our parks and trails system and a strong water system.

To help break down the budget in a way that’s clear and engaging, we created Round Rock’s Budget Hot Takes — a video series where we sit down with City leaders to talk about projects and priorities…one wing at a time.
