City of Newberg Biennial BudgetCity of Newberg adopted Biennial Budget 2025-2027
Am I seeing double? Yes! The City of Newberg is switching to a two year budget cycle, so the proposed budget should be expected to be approximately double the past fiscal year.
City of Newberg, Adopted Budget FY2024-2025
A copy of the current adopted budget document may be inspected or obtained at Newberg City Hall, 414 E. First Street, Newberg, Oregon, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. by appointment with the City Recorder (cityrecorder@newbergoregon.gov).
The City of Newberg's annual budget year is July 1st through June 30th. The budget is adopted by the City Council before or on June 30th of the prior fiscal year. The adopted budget is in compliance with Oregon Budget Law.
The original budget may be changed during the course of the fiscal year through the supplemental budget process. Changes are adopted by the City Council at a public meeting, posted and noticed in the Newberg Graphic newspaper.
Each budget reflects the prior year's budget, and two prior year's actual audited accounting.
Critically a big change is coming to the City of Newberg budget! Starting from July 1 of 2025 the city is moving over to biennial (two year) budget cycles. So the next fiscal period will run from July 1 2025 to June 30 2027. This move frees up over 7000 staff hours annually to work on other projects and also makes budgetary control over capital projects more effective than ever!
