# Village of Waukesha Village Board Budget Hearing November 12, 2026

The Village of Waukesha held a public hearing on November 12, 2026, to consider its 2027 budget. The board approved the general, fire department, capital, and debt service budgets in one motion, then separately approved the 2027 property tax levy. The overall operating budget is $3,875,364; the capital budget totals $5.3 million. Capital plans include $500,000 for roads, funding for a new plow truck, and allocations described as approximately $75,000 for a retention pond, $4.4 million for the fire department, and $800,000 for truck and road projects. The truck may not be delivered in 2027, and no vendor or purchase award was approved; a potential supplier had been identified as possibly seeking the village’s business.

The budget also includes an estimated $40,000 in one-time village planning services to review the comprehensive plan. The board noted that this expense is expected to return to normal levels in 2028. The meeting discussed possible future loans or grants through the TIF district, but no specific awards or spending decisions were made on those proposals.
