What is the city budget?
This is the City of Weslaco’s adopted budget for fiscal year 2025‑2026. It outlines the city’s projected revenues and expenses, the property‑tax rates that will fund the budget, the amount of municipal debt, and the surplus expected in the General Fund. The document also shows allocations for capital projects, new staff positions, and the financial outlook for the water‑sewer, solid‑waste and airport funds.
The City of Weslaco’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) summarizes the city’s financial condition for the fiscal year that ended on September 30, 2025. It contains the city’s government‑wide and fund‑level financial statements, a Management’s Discussion and Analysis, and an independent auditor’s report that gave the statements an unmodified (clean) opinion. The report was issued on April 23, 2026 and serves as the official record of Weslaco’s revenues, expenditures, assets, liabilities and compliance for that year.
