Payson adopted its fiscal 2027 budget 4-1 on June 17, on the condition that a $700,000 HVAC project and an $80,000 motocross study get further review before money is spent.

Payson authorized up to $5 million in sewer revenue bonds in May to complete its sewer plant. Finance staff said about 64% of sewer operating revenue goes to debt service, and the audit's sewer coverage ratio for fiscal 2025 doesn't match the figures printed beside it.
