Spending identified across the Department of Public Health and Environment, the voter-approved Denver Health (2Q) fund, Caring for Denver (mental health and substance use), and Healthy Food for Denver's Kids. Other payments to Denver Health outside the 2Q fund are not included in this total.
Denver Public Schools is a separate government with its own budget and is not part of the City and County of Denver budget. The city's education-related spending includes the Denver Preschool Program, Prosperity Denver (postsecondary support), and the Denver Public Library. Office of Children's Affairs youth programs are not included in this total.
ESTIMATE: the clearly homelessness-directed lines total $118.1M within the Department of Housing Stability's $209.0M budget. The department also funds affordable housing (see Housing). Homelessness-related spending in other departments is not included.
Public Safety is the largest General Fund area at $646.5M. Public safety special revenue funds add $73.2M. Debt and capital for safety facilities are not included here.
Parks, Recreation and Culturals in the General Fund ($138.4M, which also includes cultural agencies), plus the 0.25% Parks Legacy sales tax (operating and capital), state lottery funds, and Winter Park revenue. The Parks Legacy operating fund also transfers about $28M to the Parks Legacy capital fund, so that transfer is not counted twice.
Transportation and Infrastructure in the General Fund, plus the new Sidewalks enterprise fund (fee-funded). Wastewater and bond-funded capital projects are reported separately.
The Department of Housing Stability's affordable housing funds are paid for by a dedicated property tax, a share of the retail marijuana tax, and the linkage fee on development. Federal HOME grants, mortgage assistance and the property tax rebate are listed separately.
Filter all 2026 budgeted expenditures (gross, $5.86B before removing $447.4M of internal transfers) by fund type, service area and funding source. Select any bar to see what it pays for, its fund type, main revenue source, components and budget page. [2026 Budget, pp.58–59, Exhibit 2]
General Fund lines are shown before the $13.3M deduction for estimated unspent appropriations, so the unfiltered total is $5.87B. Funding source shows the main revenue type for each fund as described in the budget book; individual funds can draw on more than one source. Definitions marked “Quoted” are taken word for word from the 2026 budget book; definitions marked “Summary” are written by Denver Spending. For an estimated split of all spending by source, see Bonds vs. sales tax (ESTIMATE).
Denver's 2026 budget at a glance
General Fund appropriation$1.676B
The city's main operating budget for everyday services such as police, fire, parks and streets, paid for mostly by general taxes. [2026 Final Budget, p.91]
All funds, net of duplications$5.41B
Every city fund, including the airport and utilities, with money moved between funds counted only once. [2026 Final Budget, p.59]
Taxes raised in 2026
Tax revenue, shown separately from the spending totals above.
Note: General Fund sales and use tax ($928.4M) is only one part of the taxes the city raises. The 1.65% of sales tax dedicated by voters to specific funds, and taxes collected in other funds (for example, property tax for bond repayment and lodger's tax pledged to bonds), are on top of it. [2026 Final Budget, p.77]
The budget narrative also reports “$4.4 billion for all appropriated funds (less duplications)” [2026 Final Budget, p.31]. That figure counts appropriated funds only, so it is smaller than the $5.41B all-funds total.
What the General Fund pays for
Select a service area to see what it covers and its divisions and agencies, from the budget book's General Fund Schedule 100B (pp.88–90).
The estimated unspent appropriations of −$13.3M are subtracted in the total. The total of $1,663.1M is the General Fund's total budgeted expenditures [2026 Final Budget, p.58]. “Independent Agencies” covers elected and independent offices such as the Auditor, Clerk and Recorder, City Council, District Attorney and courts.
The total is net of $447.4M in duplicated internal service and interfund transfers [2026 Final Budget, p.59]. Of the $864.2M in debt service, aviation is $628.1M, GO bonds $120.0M, excise tax revenue bonds $107.4M and wastewater $8.7M [2026 Final Budget, p.58].
Denver's citywide sales tax rate is 5.15%. Of that, 3.50% goes to the General Fund and 1.65% goes to voter-approved dedicated funds [2026 Final Budget, p.77].
The lodger's tax is 10.75%: 2.75% goes to Visit Denver and 8.0% is pledged to excise tax bonds (National Western Center and Colorado Convention Center). If collections exceed what the bonds require, 3.25% flows to the General Fund, which is forecast to receive $42.6M in 2026 [2026 Final Budget, p.78].
The prepared food and beverage tax is 4.0%: 3.5% goes to the General Fund and 0.5% to excise tax bonds. The retail marijuana special sales tax is 5.5%: 2.5% goes to the General Fund, 2.0% to affordable housing and 1.0% to the Small Business Incentive (Malone) Fund [2026 Final Budget, p.77].
The 10% seat tax funds the Entertainment and Cultural Capital Facilities Fund, with about $24M projected for 2026 [2026 Final Budget, p.701].

The amounts are each fund's 2026 budgeted appropriated spending, not the tax revenue it collects. Healthy Foods combines two lines ($16.87M and $0.34M). Spending can exceed or fall short of a year's tax collections because these funds carry balances from year to year.

HOST's total 2026 budgeted expenditures are $209.02M across the General Fund ($72.19M), special revenue funds ($113.24M) and grants ($23.59M) [2026 Budget, p.469]. HOST funds both homelessness programs and affordable housing programs. The table below shows each program and fund.
“Other HOST special revenue funds” covers the Affordable Housing Incentive Fee, Housing Incentive Program, Revolving Loan Fund and Skyline–Housing ([2026 Budget, p.474]). All In Mile High is the Mayor's homelessness initiative; its budget appears as a General Fund activity line.
ESTIMATE: homelessness-specific subset. The budget does not tag every line as homelessness or housing. Counting only the clearly homelessness-directed lines (General Fund All In Mile High and Homelessness Resolution activities, the Homelessness Resolution Fund, and HOST Performance Contracts) gives $118.12M. This subset excludes homelessness-related spending in other departments, such as Caring for Denver housing grants, Denver Human Services, Denver Health and public safety.
Each year's actual figure comes from the budget book published two years later. The 2024 actual includes $48.7M in FEMA COVID response and $81.2M in ARPA (SLFRF) grant spending [2026 Budget, p.474].
Amounts are 2026 budgeted appropriated expenditures unless noted. They are not tax collections. Parks Legacy and Climate Protection also transfer about $28.0M and $13.2M, respectively, to capital funds [2026 Budget, p.117][2026 Budget, p.100]. Where the budget book does not name a measure number or oversight body, the table says so.
How Denver International Airport pays its own way
Denver International Airport is self-funded. It runs as an enterprise fund and pays for its operations, debt and construction with money from airlines, travelers and businesses at the airport, such as rents, landing fees, parking, concessions and passenger and rental-car charges. General Fund tax dollars do not pay for it. In 2026 the airport is budgeted for $789.4M in operations [2026 Budget, p.193], $628.1M in bond interest and principal, and $177.9M in capital equipment and improvements [2026 Budget, p.193][2026 Budget, p.296].
Where the airport's money comes from
The budget book lists revenue by source for 2024 to 2026. For 2021–2023, the Annual Disclosure Statement reports only totals (below), not a breakdown by source.
Source
2024 actual
2025 appropriated
2026 recommended
Source
Facility rentals (airline terminal and space rents)
Operating revenues and expenses come from the airport's condensed statement [2026 Annual Disclosure Statement, Table 26]. Gross revenues and coverage come from the bond-ordinance calculation [2026 Annual Disclosure Statement, Table 27]. That figure includes Passenger Facility Charges and excludes rental-car Customer Facility Charges ($83.7M in 2025), so it is not the same measure as operating revenues. 2022 operating figures reflect the GASB 87 lease accounting change.
Why there are two airport operations figures: the budget summary shows Aviation operations at $914.2M[2026 Budget, p.58], while the operations appropriation is $789,408,096[2026 Budget, p.62][2026 Budget, p.193]. The $124.8M difference is three other Airport Enterprise Fund appropriations the summary counts as operations: Hotel ($49,805,116), Customer Facility Charge ($70,000,000) and Concession Joint Marketing ($5,000,000) [2026 Budget, p.296]. Together they add up exactly to $914,213,212.

Contracts approved by City Council in 2026 (Legistar)
74 council resolutions adopted between Jan. 1 and Oct. 13, 2026 approve contracts, grants, loans or leases with 47 community and service organizations. The amounts stated in those resolutions total $85.45M, with duplicate filings counted once. These are contract amounts (often multi-year maximums or amendment increments), not 2026 payments. Several leases are at nominal amounts such as $30 a year.
