Town Hall Meetings

Every year, prior to submitting the budget to the County Council for approval, the County Executive hosts town hall meetings in every Council District in order to provide community members an opportunity to provide input into the budget planning process.

FISCAL YEAR 2026 BUDGET TOWN HALL MEETINGS

Each town hall event will be held in two, equally timed parts:

• 6 to 7 p.m. Community Cabinet Open House: Baltimore County departments will host individual tables where residents are able to engage directly department leadership about individual issues and concerns, learn about resources, and share suggestions.
• 7 to 8 p.m. FY2026 Budget Presentation: Attendees will learn about the county’s budget process and share priorities with Baltimore County Executive Klausmeier and senior leadership.

The meetings will be held in-person and livestreamed on Baltimore County Government's YouTube page. Closed captioning and translation services are available on YouTube.

After the County Executive’s budget presentation, attendees are invited to share their ideas and priorities for consideration for Baltimore County's FY26 budget. As these events are well attended and time is limited, speakers are limited to 90 seconds and participants with similar requests are encouraged to present their priorities together.

Those unable to provide their testimony in-person by the end of their district’s Town Hall may still submit requests for consideration by emailing townhall@baltimorecountymd.gov.

EVENTS

SUBMIT IDEAS AND PRIORITIES OR REQUEST ACCOMMODATIONS

Instead of speaking at the town halls, residents can submit their ideas and priorities for Baltimore County's FY26 budget in advance or request other accommodations by sending an email to townhall@baltimorecountymd.gov.
