When Belleville's budget is decided

The budget sets what the city 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.

Belleville's 2027 capital and operating budgets follow a timeline of a spring survey, budget guidelines in the summer, a draft budget posted for feedback in January 2027 and a budget meeting and approval in February 2027. The pages we read do not mention strong-mayor rules.

How to have your say

Earlier in this cycle

  1. Friday, June 12, 2026 2027 preliminary budget survey closed source
  2. Wednesday, February 25, 2026 Special Council Meeting approves the 2026 operating budget source
  3. Tuesday, November 18, 2025 Special Council Meeting approves the 2026 capital budget and 10-year capital plan source

The page gives months, not dates, for 2027, and does not say how the new term starting November 15, 2026 affects them. A City news item (May 12, 2026) gave a survey deadline of June 6, 2026; the engagement page says it closed June 12, which we use.

Dates checked on October 3, 2026. Places change meeting dates; check the city’s page before you go. Spotted a change? Tell us.
