We read Brampton'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 Brampton'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.
Brampton's Council holds special budget meetings in January and approves the budget in early February (for 2026: approval on February 6, 2026). The budget pages we read do not mention strong-mayor rules and post no 2027 dates.
