All figures on this page are adopted FY2027 amounts from the City of Atlanta's published adopted budget book, 2027 Adopted Budget, City of Atlanta — for fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026. Atlanta's fiscal year 2027 runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027.
Operating figures come from the book's Summary of Operating Budget by Funds and Summary of Operating Budget by Fund and Department; the all-funds totals come from its Summary of All Funds, which also covers capital, renewal & extension, sinking, and other non-operating funds. The one non-budget figure — city population — is the book's own Table 1 estimate for July 1, 2025. Department shares are arithmetic on the book's numbers; nothing here is estimated or drawn from any other source.
