Overview
The City of West Palm Beach’s FY2025-26 adopted budget is about $783.4 million citywide, adopted September 24, 2025, at an operating millage of 8.1308 mills. The General Fund tentative figure in the inventory record is $283,563,050; the final General Fund total was not extracted from the city’s line-item detail book, which prints department totals but no fund grand total, so this page claims no exact final General Fund figure. The detail book confirms the adopted FY2026 structure fund by fund, beginning with General Fund departments such as the Mayor’s Office.

Breakdown
What the pulled detail book verifies directly (FY2026 Budget column, as printed):
| Document identity | City of West Palm Beach, Adopted Budget, Fiscal Year 2025/2026, Expenditure/Revenue Detail |
| General Fund, Mayor’s Office Admin, personnel services, FY2026 Budget | $965,153 |
| General Fund, Mayor’s Office Admin, personnel services, FY2025 Adopted (comparator) | $1,130,021 |
| Book format | Department-by-department line items across all funds (General Fund first, through internal service and enterprise funds); each department prints its own grand total, but no fund or citywide grand total is printed |
Because the book prints no fund or citywide grand total, no fund split is shown on this page. Summing hundreds of department line items by hand would risk error; the re-check route below names the summary document that carries the exact final totals.
Elected officials
City of West Palm Beach City Commission (final adoption September 24, 2025, per the inventory record). The Mayor’s Office appears as the first General Fund department in the detail book. Individual commissioners are not named in the pulled book excerpts, so none are listed here.
Sources & notes
- Sources used: City of West Palm Beach Fiscal Year 2026 Adopted Budget detail book (wpb.org, Expenditure/Revenue Detail, FY2026 Budget column), identity and structure verified; headline totals, millage, and adoption date per the inventory record (citywide about $783.4 million final; General Fund tentative $283,563,050; citywide excluding CRA/ECR tentative $780,541,591; operating millage 8.1308; final adoption September 24, 2025).
- What is not claimed: no exact final General Fund total and no fund split are shown, because the detail book’s line-item format prints department grand totals but no fund or citywide grand total, and the tentative General Fund figure must not be presented as the final figure. Re-check route: the City of West Palm Beach Budget Division’s FY2026 budget summary presentation (or the adopted-budget summary book) on wpb.org for the exact final General Fund and citywide totals.
- 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.
