Not the full picture. Built from public records, which leave things out.Read by hand, Oct 2026DetailsThis is built from public records, which leave a lot out, and some of it may be wrong or out of date. Check the sources, and tell us if you spot a mistake. What this site can't tell you Read by hand. We read Limerick'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.
A clear, checkable guide to Limerick's budget, taxes and council decisions. A township in Hastings County with a mayor, a deputy mayor and three councillors. Every figure links back to the public record.
2023the newest year of audited statements on the Township's Financial Report pages
Audited financial statements are the yearly report card, checked by an outside accountant. The Township's Budgets & Reports page and its Finance & Treasury page stop at the 2023 statements. The 2024 statements, with a clean opinion dated June 16, 2025, are inside the agenda package for the June 16, 2025 meeting, under a file name that says draft. The minutes of that meeting record that Council received the audit presentation. We did not find a motion approving the statements. The 2025 statements are in the September 21, 2026 agenda package, marked draft. The only budget file on the Budgets & Reports page is the 2023 Operating Budget, and its first page is headed as a draft. The 2024, 2025 and 2026 budgets are slide presentations in the special budget meeting agendas.

$482,400the landfill's estimated closure and care cost in the audited 2024 statements, against a waste disposal reserve fund of $240,182
A reserve is money set aside for a future cost. The audited 2024 statements list the future cost of closing and looking after the Township's one landfill at $482,400, up from $367,600 after a re-estimate of $98,300. The waste disposal reserve fund held $240,182 at the end of both 2023 and 2024. The April 20, 2026 budget slides say the reserve stood at $240,183.27 at the end of 2025, then that staff were "directed to remove $30,000" from it for the Roads Reserve, leaving $210,183.27. The same slide says post closure costs for 2025 are "approximately $186,650, same as 2024", without saying what period that covers.

$480,702a year of road wear charged in the audited 2023 and 2024 statements, with no road additions in either year
Amortization is the yearly accounting charge for assets wearing out. The statements charge $480,702 a year against the Township's roads. The schedule of capital assets shows no road additions in 2023 or 2024, and the net book value of roads fell from $2,923,962 at the end of 2022 to $1,962,558 at the end of 2024. Total purchases of capital assets were $445,773 in 2023 and $66,633 in 2024, against a 2024 budget of $311,725. Meanwhile the roads reserve fund grew from $821,638 to $1,097,638 in 2024, and the budget slides plan to add $235,000 a year to the Roads Reserve in 2025 and 2026.

$168,000set aside for the dome across 2024, 2025 and 2026, in the Township's own budget slides
The March 17, 2025 budget slides list $56,000 for a Salt/Sand Dome in 2024 and $56,000 in 2025, a total of $112,000. They say the money would pay for an asphalt base and that "the remainder will be in a special reserve account until enough funds are accumulated, or a grant becomes available for the Dome itself". The reserves table in the same slides has no line for a dome, and "Misc. Reserves (all other accts)" is $238,837.71 at the end of 2024 and $238,837.71 after 2025. The 2026 slides add another $56,000 and total $168,000, and say the dome is meant to stop salt leaching into groundwater from the sand pile.

$196,320provincial revenue under budget in 2024, worked out by us from the audited statements
The audited statements budgeted $880,973 from the Province of Ontario for 2023 and received $675,113, a shortfall of $205,860 (worked out by us). For 2024 they budgeted $713,141 and received $516,821, a shortfall of $196,320 (worked out by us). The annual deficit for 2024 was $424,118 against a budgeted $188,744. A deficit in these statements is mostly the non-cash charge for assets wearing out, and the Township's cash rose in both years. The statements do not say which provincial amounts were expected and not received.

$1,441,536.12the 2026 general levy in By-Law 2026-10, 2.07% above 2025 (worked out by us)
The levy is the part of the property tax the Township keeps for itself (the rest goes to the County and school boards). The first draft budget, on March 24, 2026, asked for $1,477,932.04, which the slide called a 4.44% increase over the 2025 levy of $1,412,262.45. Council directed staff to bring it down to 2% or less. The final summary asks for $1,441,532.04 and shows 2.030450%. By-Law 2026-10 sets a general levy of $1,441,536.12. Worked out by us, the increase over 2025 is $29,273.67, or 2.07%. The percentages on the slides appear to divide by the new total instead of the 2025 total. The March slides also show 2026 expenses of $2,489,450.00 on one slide and $2,494,650.00 on another, $5,200 apart.

$60,065.85the Council department's actual cost in 2025, the only council cost figure we found
Ontario municipalities give their councils a yearly statement of what each member was paid and what expenses were claimed. We did not find that statement on the Township's Council, Budgets & Reports or Finance & Treasury pages, or in the agendas and minutes we searched. The only council pay figure we found is the Council department total in the budget slides: a 2025 budget of $62,000.00 and actual of $60,065.85.

2024 tax year · Limerick, Ontario
Your tax bill, worked out.
Enter your home's assessed value to see roughly what you pay in property tax each year, who gets it, and what Limerick's share pays for.
