When Loyalist'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.
Loyalist's mayor has strong-mayor powers. The township's page says council reviewed and amended the draft 2026 budget on November 18 and 26, 2025, then the amendment period closed and the mayor confirmed he would not veto any amendment. The township builds its draft in the fall after a summer budget survey, then holds two budget meetings of council in November.

The township's engagement site (engage.loyalist.ca) did not load for us, so the November 12 to 17, 2025 feedback window and the 2027 survey, if any, could not be checked. The township's news page showed no 2027 budget notice. The only timing statement for the new term is the September 8, 2026 staff report: January 2027.
