Fiscal Transparency

The City uses an online tool that lets anyone easily access, analyze, and compare the City’s current and prior budgets.

Created in partnership with OpenGov, the tool is part of an ongoing initiative to make government administration freely open to public view.

Gann Appropriations Limit for FY 2024-25

The California State Constitution sets limits on the amount of tax revenues—also called the “Gann Limit”— that local governments can appropriate in a given fiscal year.

Each year, the City of Simi Valley adopts a resolution establishing an appropriations limit. The staff report, resolution, and supporting documents regarding the City's appropriations limit for FY 2024-2025 are available for public view in the Memorandum published on May 17, 2024. The report may also be obtained by calling the City Clerk’s Office at (805) 583-6813.
