CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO
FY 2025
APPROPRIATION LIMITATION COMPUTATION
Article XIIIB of the California Constitution, introduced by Proposition 4 in 1979 and later amended by Proposition 111 in 1990, imposes limits on the growth rate of appropriations for cities and other local governments. This growth rate is based on changes in population and California's Per Capita Personal Income. In April 2024, the California Department of Finance provided cities with updated factors for population change and Per Capita Personal Income to use in calculating their appropriation limits.
For Fiscal Year 2024-2025, the change in the California Per Capita Personal Income is 3.62% and the change in the County of San Bernardino's population is 0.42%. Based on this data, San Bernardino's appropriation limit for FY 2024-2025 is calculated at $486,879,560. The total appropriations subject to limitation in the City’s FY 2024-25 budget is $196,005,750—of which $192,705,750 is from tax proceeds and $3,300,000 from state subventions under Government Code Section 7903. The City remains below the legal appropriation limit by $290,873,809.
