Baltimore County residents can participate in the county’s budget process during a series of town hall meetings, with the first of seven scheduled for the end of this month.
The county will hold one meeting for each of the seven council districts, where attendees will be able to give their input on the county’s Fiscal Year 2027 budget.
“As we face significant budget constraints this year, hearing directly from our residents is more important than ever,” Baltimore County Executive Kathy Klausmeier said in a statement. “Our town halls ensure that residents help guide some of our toughest decisions, and I look forward to working together with communities across every district as we navigate these challenges and continue building a stronger Baltimore County.”
The town hall meetings will be held in person and livestreamed on Baltimore County Government’s YouTube page.
Before each town hall, there will be a community cabinet open house event from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., where residents can engage with leaders from Baltimore County departments, share their concerns and suggestions, and learn about resources.
Then, the town hall portion will commence from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.

In 2024, voters approved a County Charter amendment that will create two new council districts. In late 2026, Baltimore County will go from having seven council districts to nine.
This year’s town hall series will be based on the current seven districts. Residents can click here to learn which council district they currently live in.
New district boundaries will take effect with the 2026 election cycle. The county will share updated information, maps, and tools regarding these new districts once they become available.
