2025 Town of Castle Rock Budget

The Town of Castle Rock presented its 2025 budget totaling approximately $391.7 million, funded primarily through taxes, charges for services, development fees, and prior year revenues. A key highlight is the 0.2% sales tax increase approved by residents, which will enable the hiring of 21 new public safety personnel in 2025, including police and fire staff, with plans to add 40 over four years. The budget prioritizes public safety, road maintenance, water infrastructure, parks and recreation, and economic development. Major projects include expanding the Plum Creek Water Purification Facility, renovating Centennial Park, and advancing the Lost Canyon Ranch Open Space master plan. The budget is balanced as required by state law, and ongoing financial oversight is maintained by the Finance Department.
