This is built from public records, which leave a lot out, and some of it may be wrong or out of date.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 youRead by hand. We read Windsor'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.

When Windsor's budget is decided
The budget sets what the city 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.
Windsor's mayor has strong-mayor powers: the Mayor tables the budget, the public has about two weeks to review it, Council hears delegations and has 30 days to propose amendments, and the Mayor can veto them. For the 2026 budget the Mayor tabled it on December 29, 2025, delegations were heard on January 12, 2026 and Council deliberated on January 26, 2026.

The June 29, 2026 agenda lists only the report's title and the decision to receive it, not its dates. We did not find the registration deadline for budget delegations. The Mayor's decision on the budget direction was issued in October 2025 last cycle; Windsor votes on October 26, 2026 like the rest of Ontario.
