When Greater Madawaska'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.
The Township's 2027 Budget Directive presentation of September 17, 2026 gives a schedule: a budget direction session on September 17, 2026, the 2027 draft budget and library budget presentations on November 26, 2026, and budget deliberations on December 10, 2026. It gives the adoption date as "TBD". The pages we read do not say how the October 26, 2026 election affects these dates.

How to have your say
- The Directive says Council reviews the budget "based on Strategic Plans, AMP Plans, and public input from surveys". The pages we read do not list a survey or a way to speak at the budget meetings.
- The Township's Speaking Before Council page explains how to speak to Council.
