2022-2024 Budget
Each year, the Township of South Stormont creates an operating budget and a capital budget for the upcoming year. In 2021, the decision to expand the budget to encompass a three year period, from 2022-2024. By expanding the budget process to cover three years, it gives Council a blueprint for spending over multiple years. The budget is annually reviewed by council, allowing for flexibility for amendments each year.
There are many factors that affect the Township's budget and Council provides direction to balance necessary costs and priorities while maintaining the service levels that our community expects. Activities and projects for the Township are directly tied to the Community Strategic Plan, and the Strategic Themes and Priorities set out by Council in April 2021.

Where do my taxes go?

While the Township and United Counties are responsible for establishing their own tax rates, the education portion of the overall tax levy is established by the Province of Ontario.
