Revenue by type, FY2025

The revenue total is $1.8B, including $77.4M carried over from past years, which is not income of the year. The lines below add up to $2.4B because $592.1M is money moving between City funds; it is subtracted so it is counted once. Most of the revenue is charges, rents and fees the department collects itself, not taxes.

Operating budget, adopted and spent

Operating funds only, so the adopted figure here is not the department total above. Spent on the right, against what was adopted.

FY2025$1.3B adopted$758.9M−40.3%
FY2024$1.2B adopted$719.8M−42.4%
FY2023$1.2B adopted$684.6M−41.9%
4 earlier years
FY2022$1.1B adopted$616.7M−42.8%
FY2021$1.0B adopted$570.7M−43.5%
FY2020$964.5M adopted$550.7M−42.9%
FY2019$904.7M adopted$525.3M−41.9%

The SFPUC's budget sits across a fund structure where part of the Operating-fund budget is executed in other fund categories (debt service, capital), so large under-execution (for example −42% in FY2024) is a fund-structure artifact, not money left unspent.
