Sheboygan Posts Preliminary 2027 Budget Document for Public Review
Sheboygan, WI — September 22, 2026.
The City of Sheboygan has posted a preliminary 2027 budget document for public review, giving residents an early look at projected city revenue and department spending requests.
What the city posted
The 247-page report, titled 2027 Preliminary Budget as of September 14, 2026, is organized around department budget requests and projected revenue and expense lines for the City of Sheboygan in Sheboygan County, Wisconsin.
The document is a preliminary budget request report, not the adopted 2027 city budget. The figures can change as city officials review the requests and the budget process moves forward.
What residents can review
The report includes projections for several revenue and spending categories that affect city services and finances. Readers can review lines involving property-tax levy revenue, state shared revenue, transportation aid, grants, ambulance-fee revenue, utilities, capital-related funds and department expenses.
Selected preliminary revenue projections include approximately $18.13 million in property-tax levy revenue, $15.25 million in state shared revenue, $2.31 million in transportation aid and $3.05 million in ambulance-fee revenue.
These figures should be read as early projections rather than approved tax or spending decisions. They also should not be treated as a complete summary of the City’s entire budget unless the document directly supports that calculation.
Why the document matters
For Sheboygan residents, the report provides an early view of how city officials are estimating available revenue and identifying department needs for 2027. It can help taxpayers, homeowners, renters, business owners and service users follow the financial questions that will shape city operations and future budget discussions.
The Common Council serves as the City’s legislative body and is responsible for city policies and responsible spending. The preliminary report does not, by itself, establish a final budget or a specific public hearing date. Residents should watch the City’s official updates and future Common Council agendas for additional steps.
Where to read the full report
The complete document is available through the City of Sheboygan’s official Financial Reports page, which lists the preliminary 2027 budget materials.
