San Antonio leaders are trying to close a nearly $158 million budget gap.

The budget shortfall is expected to hit in the 2028 fiscal year budget, not the upcoming 2027 fiscal year, but the city is plotting a two-year path to closing the pending gap.

The mayor has suggested cuts to city programs and raising taxes.

This year’s $1.67 billion General Fund covers services such as police, fire, parks, the San Antonio Metropolitan Health District, Animal Care Services and regular street maintenance.
