FY 2027 Town of Natick Budget
Welcome to the online homepage for the FY 2027 Town of Natick budget. Developing the annual budget is one of the Town’s most important responsibilities. Decisions about how resources are allocated affect all residents and services across the community. This page is designed to help the public understand Natick’s budget process and stay informed about opportunities to participate.
Budget Process
The FY 2027 budget process began in the fall of 2025 with the development of departmental budgets for both municipal and school operations. The Town Administrator, as required by the Town’s Charter and Bylaws, submits the preliminary budget to the Select Board and the Finance Committee on the first business day of February.
An amended budget is released later in the spring to reflect updated information and decisions made during the review process.
