FY 2027 is now the Default fiscal year in our OBRS website. Agencies can begin adding FY 2027 Budget Requests.

FY 2027 State Agency Budget Requests must be entered and submitted in OBRS by Friday, August 15, 2025. LBO budget analysts must review and approve each budget request before any budget request forms can be "Final" printed (without the Draft watermark), copied and sent to LBO and Department of Finance and Administration (DFA).
