When Halton Hills' 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.

Halton Hills' mayor has strong-mayor powers (the Town's 2027 budget page says the province gave them to the Town in October 2023). The Mayor gives staff budget direction and later tables the budget, and Council can then amend it, with a possible Mayoral veto and Council override. Because of the October 26, 2026 election, the Town's page says it expects formal budget direction to staff on November 17, after the new Mayor and Council are sworn in, and says the budget will be approved in early 2027.

How to have your say

• Read the 2027 budget page and key dates on Let's Talk Halton Hills. The Town lists public input from July to September 2026; we did not find a later input window.
• Watch or follow Council meetings and read agendas on the Town's meeting portal. The Town's Council meeting agenda says residents can delegate by completing the online delegation form no later than one business day before the meeting.

Everything here comes from the Town's 2027 budget page and key dates and the March and July 2026 Council agendas, read on October 5, 2026. The delegation rule is from the March 9, 2026 Council agenda and may differ for the new Council. We did not find Council meeting dates after the election.
