When Puslinch'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.
Puslinch's budget page prints a 2027 timeline: user fees first (September and October 2026), then a road and facility tour on December 2, 2026, the proposed capital budget on December 9, the proposed operating budget on January 6, 2027, a public information meeting on January 27, 2027 and final approval on February 17, 2027. The page does not say how the October 26, 2026 election affects these dates.

How to have your say
- Watch the Township's budget page for the January 27, 2027 public information meeting; the 2026 meeting was held at 7:00 p.m. by electronic participation (Report FIN-2026-007), and we did not see how to speak in the pages we read.
- Last year the Township ran an online budget survey on EngagePuslinch.ca (January 7 to January 30, 2026). We have not seen a 2027 survey announced.
Earlier in this cycle
