Consider the Morehead City Budget Priorities Pulse your one-stop hub for all things budget-related. Here, you’ll find our annual budget survey, links to key documents, and a clear timeline of how the budget process works from start to finish.

Our annual budget survey is your opportunity to help shape the future of our city by sharing what services and investments matter most to you. Your feedback helps our Council and city leaders align limited resources with community priorities, making sure the budget reflects real needs, ideas, and values from residents like you. By taking a few minutes to participate, you’re joining a transparent, public process that guides decisions about streets, public safety, parks, and other essential services in the coming year. We truly value every response, and we use what we learn from this survey to inform recommendations, highlight community priorities in our budget document, and improve how we serve you. Thank you for being part of your local government’s decision-making process and helping us build a stronger, more responsive city together.
