When Whitchurch - Stouffville'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.

The Town's Budget Process page says the 2027 budget follows a modified schedule because of the 2026 municipal election. It gives months, not days. Under the Mayor's strong-mayor powers, the Mayor tables the proposed 2027 budget in January 2027, and the budget is adopted on the timelines set by the strong-mayor legislation. The Town does not say how the October 26, 2026 election affects the dates.
