Check the sources, and tell us if you spot a mistake. What this site can't tell you Read by hand. We read Uxbridge'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 Uxbridge's budget, taxes and council decisions. A township in Durham Region, north-east of Toronto, with a mayor and six councillors (one of them also sits on Regional Council). Every figure links back to the public record.
$5,720,167inventory for resale at the end of 2025, up from $219,234
Inventory for resale is something a township holds in order to sell again, such as land. At the end of 2024 the statements showed $219,234. At the end of 2025 they show $5,720,167. The cash flow statement shows $5,500,933 of cash going into it in 2025. Over the same year cash fell from $13,095,847 to $4,608,755, and the operating fund's cash and investments fell from $30,021,253 to $22,428,584. The 2025 statements have no note explaining the line, and we did not find it in the policy notes. Note 12 also shows $1,700,000 of land taken out of the Township's capital assets in 2025, while the cash received from selling assets was only $58,529.

$556,588spent in 2024 on Planning legal and consultation, against a budget of $70,000
The Planning budget line for "legal and consultation" has been $70,000 a year. It cost $80,604 in 2023, $556,588 in 2024 and $299,431 so far in 2025 (year to date on a report dated December 9, 2025). The 2026 and 2027 budgets keep it at $70,000. Separately, the budget book's summary page shows Planning spending of $5,008,607 for 2025 so far, while the Planning detail page totals $742,572. The gap is $4,266,035 (worked out by us). We could not tell from the book what it holds. The audited statements show "Planning and development" expenses for the whole Township of $1,922,162 in 2025 against a budget of $1,020,082.

$196,007spent on legal in four areas in 2024 (worked out by us), against budgets of $65,500
In four budget areas outside Planning, the legal line has been budgeted at $22,000, $20,000, $20,000 and $3,500 (together $65,500). In 2024 the four cost $71,912, $37,430, $26,767 and $59,898, together $196,007 (worked out by us). The 2026 and 2027 budgets leave all four at their old amounts. Legal costs in animal control are also left out of the amount a neighbouring township pays back, so they fall on Uxbridge alone.

$16,000,000new pool in the 2026 to 2035 capital plan (worked out by us from three years)
The capital plan lists "New Pool Construction" at $4,500,000 in 2026, $9,500,000 in 2027 and $2,000,000 in 2028, which is $16,000,000 together (worked out by us). It is to be paid for with development charges ($1,980,000, $4,180,000 and $880,000), grants from the Community Sport and Recreation Infrastructure Fund ($2,250,000, $4,750,000 and $737,500), and "Other" money ($270,000, $570,000 and $382,500), with no tax levy shown. The plan's summary page lists a "Donation/Sponsorship" line with the same three amounts as "Other". By our working out that is $7,040,000 of development charges, $7,737,500 of grants and $1,222,500 of donations and sponsorship. We did not find in the documents we read whether the grants have been approved.

$3,800,000new animal shelter in the 2026 capital plan, financed as "Other"
The capital plan lists a New Animal Shelter at $3,800,000 for 2026, financed on its project page under "Other", not from the tax levy or reserves. The plan's summary page shows three financing lines in the 2026 column: "New Animal Shelter Donations" of $1,915,000, "Third party" of $942,500 and "Debenture Financing" of $942,500. These three add to $3,800,000 (worked out by us). A debenture is a long-term loan, paid back with interest, usually from taxes. The Township's website menu lists a page called "New Uxbridge-Scugog Animal Shelter", which we did not read, so a partnership with Scugog may be explained there.

$28.5 millionten-year funding gap for proposed service levels, in the Township's own 2025 asset management plan
The Township's 2025 asset management plan (by Hemson, May 29, 2025) values the Township's assets at $779.4 million. It says the Township's current funding is not enough: over ten years there is a gap of $28.5 million to keep services at the levels it proposes, and a larger "benchmark" gap of $127.7 million if every asset were replaced on its design-life schedule. To close the smaller gap, it says the Township would need to put in about $663,000 more a year (plus inflation) than the current $4.4 million of tax-supported capital spending. The capital plan shows the tax levy for capital rising from $4,490,967 in 2026 to $9,168,005 in 2035. By our working out that is $4,677,038 more over nine years, about $519,672 a year. We cannot tell whether the plan and the asset report count the same money, so we cannot say whether the plan closes the gap.

$8,712,955surplus in 2025, against a budgeted deficit of $5,038,742
The audited statements compare each year's result with the budget Council approved. The 2025 budget was a deficit of $5,038,742. The result was a surplus of $8,712,955. The year before, the budget was a deficit of $5,143,383 and the result was a surplus of $2,547,237. In both years the budgeted deficit is almost exactly the budgeted amortization (amortization is the yearly share of the cost of roads, buildings and equipment as they wear out): $5,038,743 in 2025 and $5,143,383 in 2024. By our own working out, the budget therefore plans to break even before amortization. In 2025, actual revenue was $36,507,527 against a budget of $28,934,485, and actual expenses were $27,794,572 against a budget of $33,973,227. Developer and other contributions earned were $3,463,882 against a budget of $998,202.
