Municipal budget

The municipal budget is a crucial policy and planning document that highlights our municipality’s priorities for services, programs, and infrastructure. Crafting the budget involves balancing often competing priorities: delivering the high level of services that residents expect and deserve, while also considering what is financially feasible.

Each year, municipal staff present a draft preliminary budget for public feedback. This budget is divided into two parts: the operations budget, which covers the municipality’s day-to-day services, and the capital budget, which funds large infrastructure and long-term projects. The Mayor and Council, with input from Loyalist Township residents and businesses, decide which municipal services, programs, and infrastructure projects will be included in the final budget.

This Municipal budget 101 document has been developed to take some of the more complicated budget items, financial initiatives and innovative approaches to budgeting and simplify them. Our goal is to engage our residents in the budget process and provide an understanding of the steps the municipality takes to develop the budget.

This video, created by the Municipal Finance Officers' Association of Ontario, was developed to provide an overview of how municipal budgets work.
