Clarksville Finalizes $178.7 Million FY2026-27 Budget

Clarksville has released the finalized FY2026-27 city budget, setting $178,728,553 in General Fund expenditures and a property-tax rate of $1.01 per $100 of assessed value.

The final document was released July 27, 2026, after the City Council approved the budget on second and final reading July 9. The fiscal year began July 1, so the adopted plan is already the framework for city spending and taxation.

What the adopted budget establishes

The $178.7 million General Fund figure represents the city’s total planned expenditures in that fund for FY2026-27. The adopted tax rate sets the property-tax charge at $1.01 for each $100 of assessed value.

The budget reflects amendments approved by the City Council before the finalized document was released. The published budget announcement does not provide a department-by-department breakdown of those final amendments, so the overall spending total and tax rate are the clearest topline measures of the adopted plan.

The $1.01 rate is the rate adopted for fiscal 2027. A comparison with the prior year’s rate would be needed to determine whether property taxes increased or decreased.

Rossview Road widening listed as key project

The finalized budget identifies widening Rossview Road between Warfield Boulevard and Keysburg Road as a key project. Residents have requested the work in response to increased traffic associated with growth in the area.

That designation connects the city’s budget planning to a specific transportation concern in one of Clarksville’s growing areas. It also gives residents a clear infrastructure priority to track during the fiscal year.

The budget’s identification of the Rossview Road project does not establish that the widening is fully funded or under construction. The document also does not state a final appropriation amount for the work.

For now, the adopted spending plan, tax rate and listed infrastructure priority define the city’s fiscal framework through the end of FY2026-27.
