Woodlands County 2026 Budget Feedback Survey

Every year, Woodlands County Council adopts an annual budget. In the summer of 2025, the County conducted its first resident survey for the 2026 budget. The survey included 18 questions and received 61 responses—a significant increase in participation compared to previous years.

Informed by this input, Woodlands County Council has approved a 2026 interim budget and is once again inviting residents to share their feedback before the budget is finalized in April.

Your input will help Council better understand whether current priorities align with community expectations.

To share your thoughts, complete the survey before March 18, 2026.
