When Greater Napanee'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.
Greater Napanee's mayor has strong-mayor powers (they applied to the town from May 1, 2025). The town's January 7, 2026 budget package says the mayor must introduce the proposed budget by February 1; council then has 30 days to amend it by resolution; the mayor may veto amendments, and council can override a veto by a two-thirds vote; at the end of the revision period the budget is deemed adopted with no by-law. For 2026 the draft went to special sessions of council in early January and the town announced adoption on February 4, 2026.

The February 4, 2026 news release thanks "community members who provided input during the budget process" but the pages we opened do not list a separate public meeting or survey. The September 22, 2026 council agenda sends pending leadership mandates to the incoming council and mentions "2027 budget deliberations" for some projects, but nothing sets a date.
