As Vaughan moves forward, financial sustainability continues as one of our key priorities. Over the next decade, the City of Vaughan is expected to undergo a tremendous transformation fueled by sustained high growth rates, provincially driven intensification, and a number of vision-based master plans reflecting important community needs. Recognizing the challenges that lay ahead and building on the financial planning efforts, the City’s budget continues to incorporate a future focus, which provides citizens with more certainty about the direction of City services, finances, and tax levels.

For several years, the City’s rigorous budgetary process has focused on containing costs and implementing best practices with the goal of developing realistic and responsible financial plans. This year’s budget will continue to build on those core values and successful business practices. Vaughan is in a very strong financial position and offers value to its residents by providing some of the lowest property tax rates in York Region and the Greater Toronto Area, while providing quality community services.

As the budget process unfolds, related content will be provided on this site, including presentations, items, reference material, and links to prior budget materials.

Public consultation is integral to building the budget. Listed below are scheduled Finance and Administration Committee meeting dates. These meetings are open to the public and offer residents the opportunity to comment on budget related topics.
