We read Bayham's own documents for this site in October 2026; the Sources page lists which ones. The comparisons with other places still come from the Province's yearly reports.

When Bayham's budget is decided
The budget sets what the town spends and how much property tax goes up. These are the dates it is released, discussed and voted on, and how you can take part. Free for everyone.
Bayham's Treasurer proposed a 2027 budget schedule in Report TR-02/26 (dated February 5, 2026), and the Municipality's budgets page repeats the public comment period and links that report. Council passes a capital budget and then an operating budget at special meetings. The capital budget meeting is on October 6, 2026, before the October 26, 2026 election. The operating budget meeting and open house are in January 2027, so they fall under the council elected in October. The report says the budgets are to be published about one month before each meeting. We did not see the 2027 budget documents.

How to have your say
- The comment period closed September 30, 2026. The Municipality says comments received are attached as an appendix to the staff report presented at each budget meeting. Its budgets page says comment deadlines and meeting dates are updated on that page for each budget season.
- Council meetings are live-streamed on the Municipality's YouTube channel and the Municipality says residents can follow along from home.
Earlier in this cycle
- Wednesday, September 30, 2026 Public comment on the 2027-2036 Capital Budget and 2027-2028 Operating Budget closed (it ran from February 5, 2026) source
Dates come from Report TR-02/26 (which asks Council to set these dates; the Council Highlights of February 5, 2026 list the 2027 Budget Schedule among reports received) and the budgets page, both read on October 5, 2026. We did not infer any date. The report puts the October 6, 2026 meeting under the capital budget in its recommendation (2027-2036 Capital Budget Meeting).
