The Maupin Budget Committee voted unanimously June 4 to recommend imposing property taxes for FY 2026–27 at a rate of $5.3573 per $1,000 of assessed value and to forward the proposed FY 2026–27 budget to a public hearing on June 24 at 6:30 p.m.

Recorder Christine Wolfe highlighted a note in the budget message that "the City's Audits for the last four years are in the process of being completed," and cautioned that beginning cash balances will likely be adjusted when audit results are finalized.
