City of Beech Grove passes $19.6 million 2027 budget

The City of Beech Grove passed its 2027 city budget last night, a balanced plan that invests in public safety, city employees and essential services, Mayor James Coffman announced. The 2027 Salary Ordinance and Budget passed by a vote of 5 to 1.

The $19.6 million budget reflects a minimal 1.3 % increase over 2026, with considerations made for reductions in projected revenues caused by Senate Enrolled Act 1 (SEA 1), which shifts the burden of statewide property tax cuts onto local governments.

Beech Grove was able to offset the impact of SEA 1 on its budget due to growth in the city’s assessed valuation. In 2027, Beech Grove’s assessed value will rise to more than $848 million, an 8.6% increase from 2026. This follows a 6% increase in 2025.

“This is our second budget in the SEA 1 era, and while Beech Grove is currently holding our own thanks to growth in our property tax base, we will operate in a climate of uncertainty and austerity until the Statehouse acts to ensure cities, counties, schools and other units of local government have our fair share to serve the taxpayers,” said Mayor James Coffman. “The continued increase in our assessed value will allow us to stretch our dollars another year, and is proof that our targeted strategy to bring new businesses to Beech Grove is paying off.’

The $19.6 million budget maintains key investments in public safety, infrastructure, and community vitality, despite the fiscal pressures of SEA 1. These include:

- A 1% pay adjustment for all city employees to account for cost-of-living increases, as well as new benefits under the labor union contracts for police and EMS employees.
- Increase in position pay for five city employees to bring compensation in line with other similar positions across the state.
- Funding for public operations to ensure high-quality services continue uninterrupted.
- Strategic investments in parks, infrastructure, and community facilities.
- Planned upgrades to the roundabout near Emerson Ave. and Churchman Ave.

In September, Beech Grove approved a $25 wheel tax. Under SEA 1, the state ties eligibility for Community Crossings grant funding to local wheel tax funding. The wheel tax will take effect in January 2027.

Mayor Coffman thanked Clerk-Treasurer Samantha Stratton, city department heads and the Beech Grove Common Council for their partnership in crafting the 2027 budget.
