Sources & notes
- Sources used: City of Tampa FY2026 Schedule of Revenues and Expenses by Fund (tampa.gov), General Fund section read in the FY2026 Adopted column, plus selected other-fund FY2026 Adopted totals from the same schedule.
- Sum checks: General Fund revenue categories sum exactly to $708,190,806, and General Fund expense categories (including the negative $42,568,898 other line as printed) sum exactly to the same $708,190,806; revenues less expenses are $0 as printed.
- Figure flags: the “just under $2 billion” all-funds figure, the 6.2076-mill millage, and the September 16, 2025 adoption are inventory-record figures (the schedule is a fund-by-fund schedule with no grand total and no adoption ordinance); the FY2026 Approved Budget Ordinance No. 2025-97 and Resolutions 2025-813/2025-814 named in the inventory record were not separately pulled. Re-check route: the ordinance/resolutions on tampa.gov for the exact all-funds adopted total.
- Jurisdiction palette: no verified Florida jurisdiction palette was on file, so this page uses the neutral Hometown Numbers dark-glass theme rather than a jurisdiction color.
