INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis City-County Council approved the City's 2026 budget on Monday night.

A press release from Mayor Joe Hogsett's office put a price tag of $1.7 billion on the budget. The mayor's release touted that the 2026 budget marks the City's ninth consecutive fully funded, fully balanced budget. The release also indicates that the City has not needed to increase taxes to produce the last nine years worth of balanced budgets.

“I am proud that the 2026 City-County budget package passed tonight by the City-County Council dedicates crucial funding to continue improving our city’s public safety, infrastructure, quality of life, and housing, and furthers this administration’s track record of not raising taxes on Indianapolis residents," Hogsett wrote in a prepared statement.
