City of Clarksville · adopted FY2027 budget · ten years out
Clarksville Budget Sandbox
Built on the city’s adopted FY2027 budget, as passed on second reading July 9, 2026. Every dial changes the next ten years the moment you move it. Cut a department far enough and you pass the point where the payroll is covered but there is no money left for fuel, parts or supplies. The sliders show you exactly where that line is.
What this isA working model of the City of Clarksville general fund, built from the adopted FY2027 budget and the city’s published financial reports. Every figure on the page recalculates the moment you move a dial. The file runs entirely in your own browser, sends nothing anywhere, and works with no internet connection.
What it is notNot a City of Clarksville publication, and not a forecast. It is arithmetic: it shows what follows from the assumptions you set, and those assumptions are yours to argue with. The source for every starting figure is at the foot of the page.
The dials
What the city collects
Local option sales tax
Neither of these is the city’s to set. The rate takes a referendum; the split is written into state law. They are here because what they are worth is worth knowing, not because a mayor can move them.
