Introduction
This section provides an overview of major initiatives for the Proposed Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Budget, describes
some of the factors that have impacted the preparation of this budget, and highlights significant changes between
this budget and the prior year approved budget. More detailed explanations of these changes are found later in
the document.
The FY 25/26 Proposed Operating Budget, like all budgets, serves two main functions. First, the budget serves as
the legal authority for the City to spend funds. Secondly, the budget reflects the values of our City and serves as
a guide for how we will advance and deliver on our key priorities.
This budget focuses on the City’s core purpose of providing a stable foundation for safety, health and the common
good by providing high-quality services, building and maintaining infrastructure, and cultivating partnerships to
advance opportunity and address challenges in our community.
As the City advances its purpose and mission, Mayor Indya Kincannon’s Administration continues to focus on five
key priorities that shape and drive the strategies and investments the City will implement in the coming year.
• Public Safety
• Healthy and Connected Neighborhoods
• A Clean and Resilient Future
• Thriving Businesses and Good Jobs
• Good Governance
When the City invests public funds, we are investing in the services, infrastructure and initiatives necessary to
grow and improve our community and support the people who live, work, own businesses and visit Knoxville. Our
budgeting decisions today have a lasting impact: good decisions create economic returns and enhanced quality of
life, while poor decisions can limit future flexibility and create unanticipated consequences. This budget reflects a
responsible and forward-looking commitment to the great services, infrastructure, places and partnerships that
contribute to Knoxville’s high quality of life now and for generations to come.
General Overview
The FY 25/26 Proposed Operating Budget upholds the City’s commitment to provide Knoxville’s residents,
businesses and visitors with exceptional core services, quality infrastructure, great and connected public spaces
and a commitment to partnerships.
This is a balanced budget that accommodates increasing expenses within realistic revenue projections. The
primary drivers of expenditure increases are adjustments to employee compensation and additional operating and
capital expenditures due to the ongoing effects of inflation. On the revenue side, sales tax revenue is still rising,
although at a much slower rate than previous years, and is expected to grow by only 0.7% for FY 25/26 compared
to the current FY’s anticipated results. Additionally, the City is still benefiting from having raised property taxes in
2022 and property taxes are also projected to increase modestly through “real growth” in FY 25/26. Real growth
bolsters property taxes at a steady state in that the real growth average for the past three fiscal years is
approximately 1.4% per fiscal year and the City anticipates this growth factor to continue into the future. Real
growth does not occur rapidly but is crucial because every percentage point yields an approximate $1.2 million in
additional revenue per year.
Local Option Sales Tax revenue is forecasted to grow at a slower rate of only approximately 0.9% when compared
to where we projected ending the current FY (FY 24/25) via the mid-year financial report. Additionally, State
Shared Sales Tax revenue is projected to remain flat. This is a significant shift, as the City benefited greatly from
strong sales tax growth in the years immediately following the pandemic but that has markedly slowed while
inflation and expenditures are up.
1
Inflation has continued to rise since the adoption of last year’s budget resulting in higher costs for City
infrastructure projects and other goods and services. Inflation is forecasted to hover around 2.7% (possibly higher
due to the labor market) for FY 25/26 in the State of Tennessee, but the City is still feeling the effects of the hyper-
inflation that occurred from FY 20/21 to date. This is especially true for construction projects where supplies and
labor costs increased. Additionally, inflation significantly impacts the City’s long-standing Equipment Replacement
Fund in which the City sets aside money to buy new equipment once the equipment has reached the end of its
useful life. In other words, despite having set aside funds to replace aging equipment, the money set aside rarely
covers the cost of replacement equipment purchases. In short, inflation has increased costs associated with large
and small infrastructure projects, routine supply purchases, equipment purchases and service contracts that
support basic functions such as building and facility maintenance.
In FY22/23, a property tax increase allowed the City to resolve lagging employee compensation, through a
comprehensive compensation plan, which had threatened the City’s ability to effectively deliver essential public
health and safety services. This budget continues to support competitive compensation pay, and includes
$225,000 in funding to address needed market increases within the Fire Department based on a recent analysis
by a compensation consultant. This budget also proposes $50,000 to cover the costs of an increasing number of
fire personnel obtaining advanced medical training as Advanced Emergency Medical Technicians (A-EMT) and
Paramedics due to an incentive program adopted in the current FY. This new incentive is working and adding
more highly trained personnel to serve the needs of residents.
Another component of employee compensation is the Pension Fund, which the FY25/26 budget properly funds.
This expense incorporates additional payments necessary to reflect the results of the 2022 Experience Study,
which lowered the expected rate of return on investments from 7.25% to 7% over five (5) years. The lowering of
the basis points for the expected rate of return comprises some of the increase in the pension unfunded liability.
FY 25/26 is the 3rd year of lowering the investment rate of return target and the current rate of return is now 7.1%.
This lowering of the rate of return increases the City’s payment for pension unfunded liability. Specifically, the
payment for pension unfunded liability increases from $22,980,646 in FY 24/25 to $25,129,596 in FY 25/26 for a
projected net increase of $2,148,950. The unfunded liability payments are expected to continue to grow in the
near term as the Pension Fund’s rate of return progresses toward the 7% mark.
Sales tax revenue is almost completely flat. Local option sales tax revenue is forecasted to grow at only 0.9%
compared to where we projected this revenue to be at the end of the current Fiscal Year (FY 24/25) and state
shared sales tax is projected to remain flat compared to the current fiscal year. For FY 25/26 the City only
projects a combined growth of approximately 0.7% ($700,000) compared to where we projected ending the
current FY (FY 24/25) via the mid-year financial report. This budget forecasts total local option sales tax at $70.7
million and state shared sales tax at $24 million for FY 25/26.
No growth is expected in the near term, for personal property taxes and public utility values assessed by the State
and the Knoxville Utilities Board’s Payments In Lieu of Taxes. This is due to the equalization rate in these areas
that occurred in both the current fiscal year and will occur in the upcoming FY 25/26 budget period. This situation
is discussed more in depth in the latter part of this Executive Summary in that both the County and City are
moving from a four year reappraisal cycle to a two year reappraisal cycle.
While the City is no longer receiving pandemic recovery State and Federal Funds, the City has recently been
awarded signficant funds from the U.S. Department of Transportation for use on the planned pedestrian
infrastructure that will span the Tennessee river, connecting the south and north waterfronts, improving safety and
spurring significant new residential and commercial investments in south Knoxville.
The City proposes making a $25 million lump sum payment on the remaining debt for the Convention Center in
the FY 25/26 Budget which will help the City in multiple ways. At the end of the current fiscal year (June 30, 2025)
the remaining principal balance on the debt for the Convention Center will be $59.0 million. The $25 million
payment will lower the principal amount to $34 million which will, in turn, lower the annual debt service payments
from approximately $9.8 million per FY to $5.7 million per FY which will save approximately $4.1 million per FY
through the life of the debt. This lump sum payment is estimated to save the City approximately $30.2 million in
total debt service payments on the Convention Center through the life of the bonds which is currently in the year
2032 and still enable the City to pay off the debt about 2 years earlier in 2030. Moreover, if the Tourism
Development Zone (TDZ) revenue continues to produce as it has, then the City should not have to use City Hotel/
Motel tax dollars on the debt thus freeing up the City Hotel/Motel tax revenue for other tourism related purposes.
2
Also of note is that the City’s first debt service payment on the new Multi-Use Stadium will occur in FY 25/26. This
budget includes appropriating $1 million for this purpose. The Knoxville Sports Authority issued $65 million in
debt to construct the stadium and the funding sources to pay the debt are team rent, TIF/PILOT tax increments,
sales taxes, and funding from both the City and Knox County. The City and County will share equally on the “gap
funding” (i.e. any payments needed after all of the sales tax, TIF/PILOT increment, and team rent is accounted
for). This “gap funding” is anticipated to equal approximately $2 million in FY 25/26 with the City and County each
funding $1 million. The “gap funding” for the City and County is expected to decrease over time as both the TIF/
PILOT tax increments and sales tax revenues grow, thus reducing the amount needed from the City and County.
This FY 25/26 budget does not propose a tax increase and maintains the current property tax rate of $2.1556 per
$100 of assessed value. Of this amount, $0.1570 goes to the Debt Service fund and $1.9986 goes to the General
Fund.
The total proposed budget for FY 25/26 is $606,735,380 which is 0.3%, or $2,102,840 higher than the FY 24/25
budget. The increase is attributable to inflation and higher pay for personnel. The net budget (i.e. excluding inter-
fund transfers and charges which are effectively double counted within the budget) is $477,342,250. The budget
for the General Fund, which is the main operating fund of the City, equals $323,002,660.
The work of the City to provide services that protect public health, safety and quality of life is a core function of
City government. People deserve to be and feel safe in Knoxville, and our community cannot thrive unless
residents are safe and secure. The proposed FY 25/26 General Fund operating budget decreases approximately
4.4% when compared to the prior year due to the relatively flat revenue with sales tax being a key factor.
Employee compensation and personnel costs comprise 39.6% ($188.9 million) of the City’s net budget (all funds
included) and are projected to grow by 7.4% ($12,933,010) from the FY 24/25 budget to the FY 25/26 budget. As
in the past, the largest portion of the net operating budget is devoted to the operation of the Police and Fire
Departments, with the majority of that funding (approximately $101.2 million) directly supporting the pay and
benefits for the men and women in uniform who work daily to keep our community healthy and safe.
The City is primarily a service organization and its employees are essential to providing the core services
expected by residents. This budget includes $225,000 in funding to address targeted market increases within the
Fire Department based on a recent analysis by a compensation consultant as well as $50,000 for increased A-
EMT and Paramedic incentive Pay.
The budget continues to fund the annual 2.5% salary increase prescribed by ordinance for General Government
employees as well as the adopted 4.2% annual increases (2.5% + 1.7% step) for Uniformed Employees in the
Police and Fire Departments. Additionally, $158,000 is proposed to bolster the City’s deferred compensation
program to help with employee retention. Specifically, the matching contribution from the City will increase by this
amount. This budget also proposes $125,000 ($250,000 per year in subsequent FY’s) to fund fitness center
memberships for City employees who wish to participate. This employer paid benefit will enhance the overall
health and wellbeing of City employees thus reducing long term healthcare costs while making the City even more
of an employer of choice. Finally, this budget includes the required funding to continue providing 8-weeks of paid
family leave for employees experiencing childbirth or adoption. It is important to note that all of these enhanced
benefit programs are an important part of the City’s goal of attracting and retaining top level talent and becoming
the region’s employer of choice.
This budget adds five full-time positions to the City’s staffing count. One position is an Administrative Manager for
the Communications Department and the remaining four are for the Police Department. Three of the positions
include current City employees (two Crime Scene Technicians and one Audio Visual Technician) that have
previously been funded by grants dollars but those grants are expiring and the need for these services still exists.
The other position is a new Police Curriculum Administrator who will develop, implement and manage KPD’s
various training programs as KPD continues to evolve with regard to how it keeps our community safe.

As Knoxville’s population continues to grow and the City attracts more businesses and visitors, the demand for
quality core services will necessitate not only innovative uses of resources through efficient operations and
technology, but the incremental addition of budgeted positions. In total, full-time budgeted positions in the
proposed budget increase by five from the FY 24/25 Adopted Budget. Specifically, the budgeted full time
positions increase from 1,611 in FY 24/25 to 1,616 in FY 25/26. Part time positions are unchanged at 29.
This budget also invests in building and maintaining the critical infrastructure that residents, businesses and
visitors rely on each day for safety and convenience. The proposed Capital Budget for FY 25/26 totals
$47,873,030 which is $4,554,830 higher than the current fiscal year.
The Capital Budget reflects increased project costs as a result of inflation and intentional investment decisions in
the upkeep of critical infrastructure, such as roadways, sidewalks, stormwater systems and other public assets.
The Capital Budget also reflects core administrative goals to promote public safety, healthy and connected
neighborhoods, great public spaces, sustainability and quality jobs.
While not a part of the FY 25/26 Proposed Budget, the City continues to invest in Public Safety by constructing a
modern fire station (Fire Station # 6) in the heart of the Burlington Business District. The project is estimated at
over $8 million with funding approved over multiple fiscal years including a recent $4.5M appropriated in a FY
24/25 Budget Amendment. The budget also includes an additional $200,000 to fund the City’s portion of dispatch
services provided by the Knox County Emergency Communications District (E-911), bringing the projected total
support for this vital service to $2,619,140 in FY 25/26.
A little over $11.3 million is budgeted for essential roadway safety investments such as repairs to roads, bridges,
guardrails, signage, signals and other basic safety assets across the City. In line with Vision Zero principles of
eliminating roadway fatalities and serious injuries, this budget invests in safe and reliable infrastructure to support
the mobility of all users of Knoxville’s transportation systems, including bicyclists and pedestrians. It provides just
over $1.8 million for the Vision Zero Program, sidewalk repairs and maintenance, ADA curb cuts, and the Citywide
Roadway Safety Program. City infrastructure investments also make Knoxville more sustainable and resilient to
the threats and hazards that our community faces, including climate change. This year’s budget maintains
support for critical stormwater drain repairs and drainage improvement projects. Investments in the efficiency of
municipal facilities through equipment and operational improvements reduce utility bills and create a return on
investment for taxpayers while also reducing environmental impacts. In addition to funding almost $2.5 million for
repairs/upgrades to roofs and heating/ventilation systems, the budget also continues to fund sustainable
innovation and community charging stations for a total of $500,000 for energy efficiency and public charging
infrastructure.
The City’s investment in infrastructure is about more than the basic core sidewalks, bike lanes, pavement and
pipes required to run a city. Amazing public places that allow Knoxville residents and visitors to connect with each
other and to the natural world are a key part of what makes our City special. From neighborhood parks to regional
destinations, this budget invests in great places, connectivity and in the people who help create and maintain
them.
The FY 25/26 budget will create and maintain great places for play and active recreation. It includes over $10
million for improvements to parks and recreational facilities throughout the City, including significant investments
at Lakeshore Park and the World’s Fair Park Amphitheater. It also includes $250,000 to continue our long-
standing ADA improvements program that provides targeted accessibility improvements at existing public facilities
throughout the City.

The budget also funds the City’s continued support for arts and culture amenities in our community. This includes
$423,500 for dozens of arts and culture non-profits and also funds a public art and transformative expansion
capital project spearheaded by the Arts and Cultural Alliance at the Emporium Building in downtown Knoxville. An
estimated $1.4 million will be provided to Zoo Knoxville over a 2-year period with $700,000 provided in FY 25/26
to fund the “Southern Appalachian Node Project.” The funds will be used for critical upgrades to animal exhibits
and guest amenities. More specifically, this includes expanding and upgrading the raptor exhibit, renovating/
relocating nearby guest restrooms and re-purposing the former Tiger Tops restaurant into a versatile space for
guest services and educational programming. Additionally, this budget proposes to fund the final tranche
($300,000) for the Zoo’s Rhino Exhibit. Zoo Knoxville is truly one of Knoxville’s leading tourism destinations and
also serves City residents on a daily basis.
Among the most significant multi-year capital investments is the City’s continued investment of $4.2M to KCDC’s
Transforming Western project that will invest over $200 million in not only affordable housing, but the
transformation of an entire neighborhood with new park spaces, connectivity and other amenities needed to
support a vibrant, thriving community for generations to come. The City’s total six year commitment to this project
equates to $26.2 million in local dollars and is a significant component of the City’s commitment to affordable
housing in the current budget. The City’s multi-year pledge will support the creation and rehabilitation of over 470
modern, permanently affordable homes for Knoxville families.
While not a part of this proposed budget, the City’s $14 million commitment to the infrastructure surrounding the
new publicly-owned multi-use stadium is coming to fruition. This new public facility connects east Knoxville to
downtown and is estimated to have an economic impact of $480 million and the creation of 400 jobs. The City’s
previous investments in the surrounding streetscape and public amenities creates vibrant public spaces that
enhance connectivity to surrounding neighborhoods including affordable housing at First Creek at Austin,
improvements at Harriet Tubman Park and other future infrastructure improvements planned as part of Knoxville’s
$46.2 million DOT Reconnecting Communities grant award.
While not a budget line item, the master plan and technical design of the long-envisioned South Waterfront
Pedestrian Bridge continues to move forward through collaboration with the South Waterfront Advisory and
Advocacy group, The University of Tennessee, Aslan Foundation and KCDC. In FY 22/23, the State of Tennessee
allocated $20 million for this project and the City has recently been awarded a $24.3 million RAISE Grant through
the U.S. Department of Transportation. A pedestrian bridge connecting the north and south waterfronts has long
been part of the South Waterfront Vision Plan since its original adoption in 2006 and this unique partnership,
focused on shaping the Down River area of the South Waterfront as well as the Chapman corridor, is truly
exciting.
In addition to investing in core services, building and maintaining public infrastructure and creating great spaces
that connect people, the City also advances its mission and administrative priorities through partnerships that
leverage both public and private resources to solve tough, complicated issues in our community.
The proposed budget maintains and expands critical partnerships with numerous institutional and community
organizations that provide critical services specific to the health and safety of our community. The proposed
budget includes over approximately $1.2 million in grants and contracts for Youth Empowerment, Violence
Prevention, Youth Violence Prevention and grants to promote addressing disparities in communities most
impacted by Urban Renewal.
Through the City’s long-standing Community Agency Grants program, this proposed budget provides over $1.6
million to local arts and social service non-profits to help achieve the Mayor’s goals of improved public safety,
healthy and connected neighborhoods, a clean and resilient future and thriving businesses and good jobs. This
includes over $453,000 budgeted for in agency grants to arts and culture organizations in our community. These
grants help strengthen our vibrant arts community, improve our quality of life, and make the arts more accessible
to underserved members of our community.
5
Over $1 million is budgeted for local non-profits providing community and social services to those in need. Legal
Aid, Second Harvest, and Nourish Knoxville are included to address food insecurity and housing stability. Over
$400,000 is included for organizations that provide consistent, safe and enriching programming for Knoxville’s
youth through literacy initiatives, mentorship, after-school and summer programs. This supplements our
longstanding support of Community Schools and Boys and Girls Clubs.
Agencies directly engaged in the critical work of responding to local health needs, including mental health and
addiction, are budgeted for $520,000. Cherokee Health Center, InterFaith Health Center, Kim Health Center, and
the Mental Health Association of East Tennessee all provide critical services that enable Knoxvillians to live fuller,
healthier lives and relieve some of the burden on our local emergency rooms. The City is also allocating $300,000
Opioid Remediation dollars generated from various class action legal settlements with major pharmaceutical
companies and other distributors. Organizations budgeted to receive Opioid Remediation funds include Metro
Drug, Positively Living, Volunteer Ministry Center, the Salvation Army, and The University of Tennessee Medical
Center. It is important to note that cities in Tennessee receive significantly lower distributions of opioid funding
than counties. Additional resources are allocated for this effort via Knox County.
The proposed budget also includes $1.1 million for the Violence Interruption Fund to support evidence-based,
community-informed strategies to reduce homicides and potentially-lethal violent crimes in Knoxville. These
investments are working. Crime is significantly down across the City including a 27% reduction in murders in the
KPD’s East District, where murders dropped from 24 in 2022 to 8 in 2024.
As with the rest of the nation Knoxville is experiencing a housing crisis. Knoxville’s housing supply challenges
impact individuals and families across the income spectrum. Knoxville is a strong, vibrant community and a great
place to live. As a result, it is increasingly becoming a place where people want to relocate and visit. A growing
city is a thriving city, but this influx of residents and visitors to our City adds demand to an already limited supply of
housing. In 2024, Mayor Kincannon provided a detailed Affordable Housing Strategy Update that outlined her
Administration’s continued support for strategies and partnerships that will produce and preserve housing
attainability for individuals and families at all income levels.
The investment in preserving and increasing the supply of affordable housing is critical. The proposed FY 25/26
budget continues to exceed Mayor Kincannon and City Council’s commitment to invest a minimum of $50 million
over 10-years in the Knoxville Affordable Housing Fund, appropriating a total of $8.2 million for the upcoming
fiscal year. This amount includes $4.2 million to Transforming Western with KCDC, $2.5 million to support the
Affordable Rental Development Fund and $1.5 million for permanent supportive housing project.
While not a budget line item, Mayor Kincannon, through a partnership with the United Way of Greater Knoxville, is
leveraging private philanthropic dollars that have been raised with this long-standing and trusted partner in our
community. The private funds raised by the United Way of Greater Knoxville will directly support the city's future
investments in affordable housing initiatives. These funds will also provide gap financing for important rental and
homeownership projects that align with the recently adopted middle housing standards. Additionally, the
developments will be affordable for individuals earning 80 percent or less of the area median income.
This proposed budget also continues our support for the Knoxville-Knox County Office on Housing Stability which
was established a few years ago as a joint initiative of the City and Knox County. This office was formed to better
coordinate and leverage resources to support unsheltered residents in our community. The budget also maintains
over $1.4 million of local and Federal funds to prevent homelessness and aid those experiencing housing
instability.
The City is also proposing adding an additional $350,000 in operating dollars to assist its unsheltered population.
These new funds when matched with funding from Knox County will grow the total number of shelter beds serving
those in need and will operationalize the use of winter warming centers in our community during times of bitter
cold. This budget also includes new supplemental funding for the Homeless Management Information System
which connects homeless persons with social work programs focused on reducing instances of homelessness.
6
Partnerships for a Clean, Thriving Economy
As the Knoxville economy continues to grow, the City and our partners work to ensure that growth reflects the
needs of the 21st century economy and workforce. The proposed budget includes a total of approximately $3
million to support Knoxville’s key economic development partners such as the Knoxville Chamber, Knoxville
Community Development Corporation (KCDC), Visit Knoxville and the Knoxville Entrepreneur Center. This
includes continued funding to support business development in Knoxville’s Latino/Hispanic community in
partnership with Centro Hispano and funding for the Knoxville Entrepreneur Center to support small businesses.
Supporting education and career pathways is critical to addressing poverty and supporting a thriving economy.
For decades, $0.72 of every dollar of local option sales tax collected within the City goes directly to support the
Knox County Schools; in FY25/26, this amount is projected to exceed $181.7 million. In addition, the City’s
proposed budget provides significant support to programs that support educational initiatives and access to
opportunity for young people. This includes approximately $329,000 in community agency grants that support
educational programs and youth development. Just some of the entities that will receive these funds include
Emerald Youth Foundation, Girl Talk, Inc., 100 Black Men, A1 Learning Connections and many others.
In 2020, City Council created the African American Equity Restoration Taskforce to identify and establish
opportunities to build generational wealth and reduce economic disparities in the Black community. This budget
continues to directly support the work of this task force through an estimated $300,000 for designated staff as well
as professional services in support of grant applications and other initiatives. In addition, the budget provides
approximately $90,000 for a contract with the Beck Cultural Exchange Center to raise awareness of urban
renewal and to acknowledge and celebrate Black Knoxvillians and their impact on Knoxville and the region.
Amidst the realities of inflation, a slow-down in sales tax growth, rising personnel costs, mounting deferred
maintenance needs and significant uncertainty/market volatility, the City maintains sound reserves. The City also
leverages additional property tax revenue and solid market driven sources of revenue to maintain a strong
financial foundation while continuing to provide the quality services, amenities and infrastructure that Knoxville’s
citizens expect. A strong financial foundation also helps attract and retain great jobs and strong private sector
investment. Through a combination of capital investments, operating funds and support for strategic partnerships,
it advances the City’s administrative goals: Public Safety, Healthy and Connected Neighborhoods, a Clean &
Resilient Future, Thriving Businesses and Good Jobs and Good Governance. This budget honors our previous
commitments and focuses on “being brilliant at the basics,” while also investing in community programs and public
amenities that will allow the City to continue to be a top city to live, work, start a business and raise a family.
Challenges Ahead
Increasing Inflation: The cost of supplies, equipment and services has risen over the past three to four years and
is likely to continue into the FY 25/26 Budget year. A prime cause of this is the general economic volatility at the
national level caused by recent tariffs on foreign goods/products and wage growth which is estimated to rise
between 3.9% - 4.6% during the upcoming FY. Although inflation growth slowed somewhat in the current FY, it is
still a major factor when considering the out-years. New employees seek higher pay and basic infrastructure
projects cost more every year.
Slowing Sales Tax Revenue Growth: Both Local Option and State Shared Sales Tax revenue is projected to grow
less than in previous years. In the aftermath of the pandemic, sales tax revenue grew by an average of
approximately 10.7% per year enabling the City to receive revenue greater than projected. However, Local
Option Sales Tax is anticipated to generate $70.7 million in FY 25/26 which is only a forecasted growth of 0.9%
from where we projected ending the current FY during the annual Budget Retreat. Comparatively, this level of
growth is much lower than previous FY’s and this slowdown is projected to continue. State Shared Sales Tax
growth is anticipated to be even less and is projected to be flat compared to the FY 24/25 budget and will
generate only $24 million. In sum, while sales tax is still growing, it is growing at a much slower rate now.
7
Annual Employee Compensation Increases: City ordinance requires a 2.5% pay increase for all full-time
employees each fiscal year, with uniformed employees in Police and Fire also receiving an annual “step-level”
increase as part of a comprehensive compensation study completed in 2022. These ongoing personnel costs in
addition to occasional market adjustments to specific positions, and the enhanced benefits proposed in this
budget (deferred compensation, health and wellness and paid family leave) are necessary to compete in the
market-place but present a financial challenge to leadership. While rising personnel costs are definitely a budget
factor, this is expected in a growing city like Knoxville.
Healthcare Costs: Healthcare costs, like all other services, have markedly risen over the past several years and
the City has funded the increased costs for over a decade without passing the increases on to employees. This is
an area that will need to be studied moving forward as the City may not be able to continually fund these higher
costs without assistance from employees or driving down healthcare and risk costs through improved safety,
health and wellness.
Pension Unfunded Liability: The lowering of the expected rate of return by 25-basis points over a five-year period,
beginning in FY 23/24 and the volatile market for the long-term investments may increase the City’s payments
toward the Pension Fund’s unfunded liability. The budget, in accordance with the charter and sound financial
practice, fully funds the annual required pension contribution. The City must continue to address the projected
increase in the unfunded liability to ensure the plan remains actuarially sound and our commitment to paying off
the unfunded liability by approximately 2043.
Deferred Maintenance: Aging public facilities and infrastructure, such as World’s Fair Park, Volunteer Landing,
Chilhowee Park, the Knoxville Civic Auditorium & Coliseum, stormwater systems, road paving and sidewalk
repairs, among others, are in need of a growing list of upgrades and maintenance. While the City has consistently
funded many of these needs with capital dollars, the available resources fall short when compared to the actual
dollars needed to address this growing issue. For example, needed stormwater infrastructure repairs are
estimated at approximately $800 million, the replacement of all aging City sidewalks would cost approximately
$52 million, $10.3 million would be needed to replace all aging greenway paths that are over 20 years old, and
approximately $153 million would be needed to upgrade/maintain the City’s legacy facilities. With current revenue
projections, the City’s annual budget is not sufficient to meet the maintenance needs expected in future years.
While the current Administration and Council did not create this issue, this is a growing concern that must be
addressed. Mayor Kincannon has asked her executive team to develop options for addressing this challenge in
the near future and this budget includes a tangible investment in several specific areas of concern. A commitment
to good governance means tackling issues head on, providing solutions and building a solid foundation for the
future councils and mayors of our City.
Grant Funding: The relatively new administration at the federal government level has signaled that there may be
potential freezes or discontinuation of significant grant funds moving forward. While the City is not overly
dependent on federal funding and has appropriate reserves to withstand temporary turbulence in this area, a
longstanding freeze or discontinuance of such funds would present a serious challenge. The effect would be
particularly detrimental to Knoxville Area Transit, the Housing and Neighborhood Development Department, the
Engineering Department, and the Police Department as all of these organizations receive significant allocations of
federal funding annually. Additionally, a slow-down or cutback on grant funding to social service focused non-
profits in our area would increase the need for City local dollars to fill that void to help the less fortunate and
persons in need. While no curtailment of such grant funds to the City has yet occurred, the Administration is
closely monitoring the situation and working directly with our state and federal elected officials on the situation.

Opportunities Ahead
City Hotel/Motel Tax Revenue: During the current FY Council amended the City-specific Hotel/Motel Tax
Ordinance by raising the occupancy tax rate from 3% to 4% which results in just over a $2 million dollar increase
per year. The amendment also added flexibility for the allowable use of Hotel/Motel Tax Revenue from a
dedicated source of debt service payments on the Convention Center to broader tourism related initiatives
pursuant to State Law. As mentioned previously, the City intends to make a one-time $25 million lump sum
payment on the Convention Center debt, thus reducing the annual debt service payments to approximately $5.7
million per FY which is the amount of revenue projected from the TDZ in the outyears. As such, the City Hotel/
Motel tax revenue is now able to cover other tourism related projects/initiatives as it is unlikely to be needed for
Convention Center debt based on current forecasts. This initiative will allow the City to address significant and
long-standing deferred maintenance on the Knoxville Civic Auditorium and Coliseum, the Convention Center itself
and other tourism focused facilities. Conservatively speaking this amount should equate to at least $9 million per
FY going forward.
A Growing Property Tax Base: The City’s tax base is also expected to continue to grow due to new businesses
and citizens moving into the area across multiple industries. Tennessee and Knoxville specifically have seen a
growth in new residents in recent years which has provided a boost to the state and local economy. In 2022,the
City raised property taxes by 36.5 cents per $100 of assessed value which is generating an additional $32.4
million annually (not including “new/real growth”). As the City is a service organization, the majority of this new
revenue was committed to the implementation of a comprehensive compensation plan to ensure City employees
are paid competitively. The balance of the new revenue is being used for debt service, ongoing operating costs
and continues to help keep the City fiscally sound during times of inflation and slowing sales tax growth.
Additionally, the City has approved various Tax Incremental Financing (TIF) and Payments in Lieu of Taxes
(PILOT) agreements over the years in order to spur development in parts of the City. The amount of new property
tax revenue anticipated to be added to the rolls from these arrangements is approximately $5 million between
2024 and 2030. While most of this additional tax revenue will come online toward the latter part of this period, the
additional $5 million per year will do much to continue to bolster the City’s property tax revenue.
More Frequent Property Reappraisals: Recently, Knox County voted to increase the property reappraisal cycle
from every four years to every two years. This increased frequency of re-appraisals will lower the discount rate on
personal property tax and public utility tax revenues including the Knoxville Utility Boards’ Payment in Lieu of
Taxes. The new two-year reappraisal cycle will increase the amount of revenue to the City by approximately $4.2
million annually, remove the need for a sales tax ratio, improve the accuracy of assessments, and avoid large and
sudden tax changes for property owners.
Strong Reserves: The City maintains strong reserves in that 20% of the General Fund equivalent amount is
maintained (pursuant to a Council Resolution) in a stabilization account which is considered “Committed” Fund
Balance. Another 5% of the equivalent of the General Fund is placed in “Assigned” Fund Balance as a best
practice. These reserves enable the City to handle financial requirements and challenges as they arise while
maintaining investment grade bond/credit ratings.
Additionally, the City, along with the Sports Authority of Knoxville and Knox County, has recently completed a
Publicly Owned Multi-Use Stadium, which is spurring further development in the surrounding area of the
Knoxville’s “Old City.” This will increase sales tax revenue, hotel/motel tax revenue, and boost businesses in the
downtown and “Old City” area of Knoxville in general.

Conclusion
The City has some concerns over the slowing growth of sales tax revenue, inflation, and recent volatility in the
market, but remains in an overall sound financial position due to healthy reserves, solid property tax revenue and
the continued, albeit much slower, sales tax growth. The projected revenue growth combined with new
businesses and the new Multi-Use Stadium, with associated businesses, bode favorably for the City’s finances.
In sum, the City remains financially sound and has developed a proposed budget that focuses on the City’s core
purpose of providing a stable foundation for safety, health and the common good by providing high-quality
services, building and maintaining infrastructure, creating great spaces that connect people and cultivating
partnerships to advance opportunity and address challenges in our community. The remainder of this budget
includes additional summary material, and a more detailed discussion of revenue and expenditure trends. It is
hoped that these materials will provide the reader with a more thorough understanding of the operating budget.

*The Property Assessor is required by law to to complete a reappraisal of property at least every four years.
Whenever a property reappraisal occurs, cities and counties are required to adopt a "Certified Tax Rate". This is
the rate that would generate the same amount of tax revenue as before reappraisal.

ASSESSED VALUES - ALL PROPERTY
FY 05/06 – FY 25/26
* The Property Assessor is required by law to undertake a complete reappraisal of property at least every four years.
These reappraisals were completed in 2001, 2005, 2009, 2013, 2017, and 2022.
Note that the assessments for each calendar year are reflected in the budget for the following year. For example, the 2021 assessments
are used in the FY 21/22 budget. Residential property is assessed at 25% of the appraised value. Commercial/Industrial property is
assessed at 40% of the appraised value and public utility property is assessed at 55% of the appraised value. The majority of public utility
property is appraised by the Tennessee Public Service Commission. Personal property is assessed at 30% of the appraised value.

City of Knoxville
General Fund Revenues
Total General Fund budgeted revenues and sources for FY 25/26 equal $323,002,660. This is a 4.4% decrease
compared to the FY 24/25 budget of $338,014,580. Operating revenue totals $323,002,660 which is $11,920
below the budgeted FY 24/25 operating revenue. A budgeted use of $15,000,000 unassigned fund balance was
required for FY 24/25 and that is the primary difference to the FY 25/26 budget.
The overall revenue picture for FY 25/26 is expected to be similar to the previous year. Market-driven sources
such as local option sales taxes are essentially flat to the previous year. The City anticipates continued
improvement in market-driven revenues from entities/activities like City-owned golf courses, Parks and Recreation
programs, the Convention Center, the Knoxville Civic Auditorium and Coliseum, and other smaller programs in FY
25/26.
With the continuation of the administrations priorities, which include Public Safety, Healthy and Connected
Neighborhoods, a Clean & Resilient Future, Thriving Businesses & Good Jobs, and Good Governance, the City
has retained the allocation of its property tax rate between the General Fund and the Debt Service Fund to ensure
ongoing support of these priorities and initiatives.
Property tax revenue is the largest single revenue source of the City. In FY 25/26, real property is expected to
grow by 2.2% over FY 24/25 projected collections. The revenue received from personal property taxes and public
utilities, such as railroads and others who use the City’s infrastructure for their operations, is expected to decrease
slightly.
In short, the City’s overall revenue picture for the General Fund is neutral. However, the City remains financially
postured to weather future possible effects of any revenue shortfalls just as it has done in the past.
TAXES
The largest single category of revenue to the General Fund is taxes. This one category equals $282,883,920 or
approximately 87.6% of the total operating revenue in this fund.
Property Taxes
The largest revenue source within this category is property taxes. Property taxes are, in turn, divided into three
types: taxes on real property, taxes on personal property, and taxes on public utilities.
There are four factors that determine revenues from property taxes:
25
Assessed Value and Equalization Rate:
Historically, growth in the value of new real property in Knoxville would be considered fairly moderate, and not
characterized by the boom/bust cycles of many cities. The normal annual rate of growth falls in the 1% to 2%
range, with some exceptions along the way. The past 10 years, with the exception of reappraisal years, have
been characterized by this same fairly moderate growth. We expect limited change in residential, industrial, and
commercial property. At this time, we are forecasting an increase of 1.5% in real property values for the upcoming
year.
For FY 25/26, the forecast for real property assessments is $7,240,236,400. The projected amounts are based
upon the latest available data from the Assessor’s Office.
The Property Assessor is unable to supply final estimates on the assessed value of personal property until after
the adoption of the budget. Personal property tax growth rates have shown much more volatility than real
property. In FY 22/23 the assessed value increased by 10.1% from the prior year, while in FY 23/24 it decreased
over the prior year by 15.8%. As with real property, we will not have final numbers from the Property Assessor’s
Office until after passage of the budget. In FY 25/26 we anticipate a small decrease in the assessed values for
personal property from the prior year.
The third set of property tax revenues comes from taxes on public utilities, which are assessed by the Division of
State Assessed Properties under the Office of the State Comptroller. These values are not supplied until January
or February of the subsequent year. The change in the equalization rate for FY24 caused a decrease of 27% in
the assess value on public utilities. In FY 25/26 we expect a relatively small decrease of assessed values for
public utilities.
Tax Rate:
The tax rate is unchanged for FY 25/26 and the budget is based upon a total tax rate of $2.1556 per hundred
dollars of assessed value. The tax rate is apportioned between the Debt Service Fund and the General Fund. In
FY 25/26, $0.1570 of the tax rate goes directly to the Debt Service Fund. The portion of the tax rate used for
General Fund purposes is $1.9986.
Tax Discounts
The City offers a one percent discount on property taxes paid before the end of October. For FY 25/26 the
anticipated discount in the General Fund is $842,170, which is $5,290 less than the FY 24/25 budgeted amount.
We do not believe the percentage of individuals receiving a discount will deviate much from the current year.
This discount represents a reduction in the amount of revenues available to the General Fund but allows the City
to better manage cash flow, avoid the need to issue tax anticipation notes, and increase interest earnings.
Other revenues within the tax category include the payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT) from the Knoxville Utilities
Board (KUB) and Knoxville’s Community Development Corporation (KCDC). The payment from KUB is based
upon two components, one being the estimated property value owned by KUB and the second being an average
of overall revenues. In FY 25/26 the KUB PILOT payment is forecast at $24,000,000 which represents a budgeted
decrease of $3.400 million from the prior year. This is based upon the change in actual revenue received for FY
25/26, due to the change in the equalization rate property held by KUB, the addition of broadband and anticipated
growth in average net revenues. The amount from KCDC is now forecast to yield $675,000 which is an increase
of $339,000.This increase is due, in part, to the redevelopment strategy of the City.
26
Sales Taxes
The City imposes, as the result of local referenda, a 2.25% local option sales tax on all sales within the city limits.
Approximately 72% of the proceeds from the tax go to the Knox County School District, with the balance flowing
to the City’s General Fund. The revenues from this source comprise the second largest source of revenue within
the tax category. In FY 25/26, local option sales tax revenues are estimated at $70,662,740 or 21.9% of total
General Fund operating revenues. We are now projecting an increase for both the current fiscal year (FY 24/25)
and the ensuing fiscal year (FY 25/26) as shown in the graph below.

Est Budget
As shown in Figure 1, growth in sales tax receipts was steady from FY 16/17 through FY 19/20. From FY 20/21 to
FY 22/23, local option sales tax receipts grew by 29.2%. From FY 22/23 to FY 23/24, the growth slowed to 4.6%.
In the FY 24/25 we are forecasting an uptick to 6.1% we still expect the growth to slow in FY 25/26.
Consequently, we project local option sales tax collections to be $70,662,740 for FY 25/26, which is an increase
of 0.9% above the FY 24/25 projection.
Other Taxes
Revenues from the beer tax and mixed drink tax have, in recent years, shown small to modest growth, but we
expect mixed results in 25/26. Mixed drink taxes are forecast to generate $3,500,000, which is $700,000 down
from the FY 24/25 budget. Revenues from beer taxes are expected to remain flat in FY 25/26. Total revenues from
the beer tax are forecasted at $7,300,000. This tax has shifted from a price-based tax to an excise-based tax so
we expect future growth to be relatively flat.
Wholesale liquor inspection fees have also been relatively flat over the past two years, which is a pattern we
expect to continue in the upcoming year. Revenues from this source are expected to generate $5,400,000 in FY
25/26.
Revenue from business taxes is expected to stay flat to the forecasted revenue in FY 24/25. Projected revenue
from this source in FY 25/26 is $9,800,000.
27
Cable television franchise taxes from Comcast, AT&T, and WOW are projected to be down slightly when
compared to the FY 24/25 budgeted amount, mostly due to the continued popularity of streaming services. These
revenues are now forecast at $1,000,000, which is $400,000 lower than the amount budgeted in FY 24/25.
INTERGOVERNMENTAL REVENUE
The second largest revenue category of the General Fund is intergovernmental revenue, i.e., revenue that comes
from another governmental unit, primarily the State of Tennessee. This category of revenue accounts for
$30,785,000 or 9.5% of total operating revenue. Overall, we expect this category of revenue to be up by $130,000
compared to the FY 24/25 adopted budget.
The largest single revenue within this grouping is the state shared sales tax. The total estimated amount in FY
25/26 from this source is $24,000,000, which is unchanged from the amount budgeted in FY 24/25.
The second largest revenue within the intergovernmental category is the city’s portion of the TVA gross receipts.
This revenue is forecast flat when compared to FY 24/25. The revenue from this source is now budgeted at
$2,100,000.
The City also receives a number of other state-shared revenues. Revenue from alcoholic beverage tax and beer
tax are expected to remain flat when compared to FY 24/25.
Revenue from the state excise tax, a tax upon the net earnings of state and national banks chartered in
Tennessee, is expected to decrease $100,000 for FY 25/26, yielding $2,000,000.
Revenue from the streets and transportation tax is expected to increase $50,000 compared to FY 24/25. This
revenue is budgeted at $300,000.
The City receives funding from the federal government to help offset the cost of several positions within the police
department. This includes the payment of overtime for officers working in KCDC housing and other areas. The
funding is listed as federal contribution; the total amount budgeted for FY 25/26 is $700,000, the same as the
previous year.
OTHER REVENUE
Overall, the category of “Licenses and Permits” is up Changes for Services 1,891,900 1,670,600
by $11,800 when compared to the budget for FY 24/25.
Within this revenue category, beer privilege tax fees Fines & Forfeits 684,000 735,000
are also expected to stay the same. Short term rental
Misc. Revenue 5,470,000 6,585,880
fees are also expected to stay the same from the FY
24/25 budget. TOTAL $ 8,376,360 $ 9,333,740
The amount expected to come from “Charges for Services” is projected at $1,670,600, which is $221,300 or
approximately 11.7% less than the amount budgeted for FY 24/25. This is due, in large part, to the restructuring of
revenue sources from our parks and recreation department operations.
The category of “Fines and Forfeits” is forecast to generate $735,000, an increase of $51,000 or 7.5%. This is
mainly due to increased red light camera fines.
28
The category entitled “Miscellaneous Revenue” is projected at $6,585,880, which is $1,115,880 higher than the
amount budgeted in FY 24/25. The reason for the increase is almost exclusively interest earnings which are
forecast to go up by $1.0 million.
Non-Operating Revenue
The FY 25/26 General Fund does not anticipate any use of unassigned fund balance.

costs for this category increase by $9,790,860 from $139,521,960 to $149,312,820, or 7.0% when compared to
the FY 24/25 budget. This increase is primarily due to the annual 2.5% salary increases and step increases for
uniformed employees. The remaining variance is being driven by the City’s increase in group health premiums.
Salary determined benefits such as Social Security, Medicare and pension contribution rise accordingly. The
impact on specific departmental budgets is discussed in more detail below and in the executive summary.

licensing fees, repair and maintenance items (chemicals, road salt, etc.), and operating equipment not provided
for in the equipment replacement funds or the capital budget. The budget for the Supplies category grows by

being driven by grant local match and partially offset by an increase in miscellaneous professional services.

other projects. As of June 30, 2025, the long-term debt of the City, excluding revenue-supported debt of the
Knoxville Utilities Board (KUB) and the Metropolitan Knoxville Airport Authority (MKAA), will be $139,155,000. As
KUB and MKAA are not a part of the City's operating budget the following analysis focuses only on the debt of the
general government.
The debt of the City can be separated into two basic categories: general obligation bonds and enterprise fund
debt. A breakdown of general government debt by category is shown in Table 1.
In the FY 20/21 the City refinanced $58.9 million of existing debt and borrowed $62,500,000 for the construction
of a new safety building and other various projects. With the refunding, the City was able to capture approximately
$5,000,000 in savings over the life of the debt. In FY 21/22 the City borrowed an additional $18,000,000 due to
the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on construction costs. In FY 22-23 the City refinanced $59,970,000 of
variable Enterprise debt due to the expiration of LIBOR. In FY25-26 the City proposes to make an advance
payment on this Enterprise debt of $25,000,000.
Debt Limitations
There are no limits on the amount of debt that can be issued by a municipality within the State of Tennessee (TCA
9-21-103). All notes and bonds must be approved by the state Director of Local Finance prior to issuance. This
review/approval may address debt structure, maturities, and consistency with the City’s established debt policy.
