When Deseronto'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.
Deseronto holds a series of special budget council meetings in January and February, then council passes the budget by by-law at a regular meeting. For 2026 there were special budget meetings on January 14, January 28 and February 25, and the by-law to pass the 2026 budget was on the March 25, 2026 regular council agenda. The town posted a budget media release on April 1, 2026.
