DC Council posts 2025–26 oversight and FY 2027 budget schedule, outlines hearings

The Council of the District of Columbia has published its 2025–2026 performance oversight schedule alongside the Fiscal Year 2027 budget calendar on the Council's official website. The posting sets the timeline for committee oversight sessions and the Council’s review of agency budgets and performance for the upcoming fiscal year.

According to the Council posting, the schedule covers the sequence of oversight hearings and budget review meetings that will shape agency funding and performance assessments for FY 2027. The calendar is intended to guide agency submissions, staff workplans and public participation in hearings. The Council’s publication gives residents, advocacy groups, contractors and city agencies a single reference for when committees will consider budgets and conduct performance oversight.

The schedule also signals the window when Council committees will solicit testimony from agency leaders and the public, and when preliminary votes and markups are likely to occur. While the Council page serves as the authoritative schedule, individual committees typically post specific hearing notices, witness sign-up information and additional materials in the weeks before each session.

The Council’s release is a routine but consequential step in the local budget cycle: it organizes the months of hearings and deadlines that determine final funding levels for city services and programs.

The schedule sets the official timetable for when the Council will examine agency performance and decide FY 2027 funding—directly affecting city services, agency plans, contractors and residents who depend on those budgets.
