The City has launched our 2026 municipal budget survey, an opportunity for residents to share feedback on how property tax revenue is collected, invested, and spent.
Property taxes, when combined with program and user fees, facility rentals, and additional funding sources, make up the available money (revenue) collected by the City. This revenue funds the services, infrastructure, and projects that residents rely on daily. All of this is summarized in the municipal budget – an itemized plan for the revenue coming in and the expenditures going out.
The budget process begins each June with department reviews and budget preparation. It’s a months-long process that ends with City Council’s approval of the taxation fund and the setting of next year’s municipal tax rates. Part of this process includes asking residents to provide input on items such as City services, value for tax dollar, and investments in capital projects. Public engagement on budget and municipal spending, helps ensure transparency and informed decision-making.
The online survey is available now until October 30, 2025, in both French and English. It takes only 4-5 minutes to complete and is fully anonymous.
