2026 Budget
The 2026 Capital and Operating Budget
The Town of Milton strives to foster a vibrant and inclusive community where residents thrive, businesses flourish, and nature is cherished.
Central to achieving this vision are investments in infrastructure that support municipal services and funding to deliver services such as firefighting, snow clearing, road maintenance, and the operation of parks, transit, recreation centres, and libraries.
The Capital and Operating Budget provides for these community investments and reflects Council’s vision for the Town.
Town studies and plans, including the 2023-2027 Strategic Plan, master plans, and the Town’s Asset Management Plan, form the framework for investment in the community.
The annual budget process prioritizes and balances the allocation of available resources to support Town priorities and deliver services to the community.
The Budget Call report to Council on Sept. 8, 2025, will provide an initial overview of anticipated 2026 budget pressures. The 2026 Budget will be released in November and considered by Council on Dec. 1, 2025.
The Town of Milton invites your input to help prioritize services and investments for the coming year. Council and staff will consider the comments you submit as part of the budget process.
