2027 Budget

The 2027 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 municipal infrastructure and 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, Development Charge Background Study, master plans, and the Town’s Asset Management Plan, form the framework for investment in the community.

The annual budget process helps Council balance resources to meet the Town’s priorities and deliver services to the community.

• The Budget Call Report to Council on Sept. 14, 2026, will provide an initial overview of anticipated 2027 budget pressures.
• A staff-prepared 2027 Budget Reference Document will be released in November.
• The Mayor’s 2027 Budget is expected to be released by mid-January 2027 and considered by Council on Jan. 25, 2027.

We welcome and will consider your input to help us prioritize services and investments for 2027.
