In planning for 2024 to 2027, the City’s budget will be shaped by the Council Priorities for 2022 to 2026 – Sustainable Economic and Ecological Development, Safe and Thriving Neighbourhoods, and Responsiveness and Transparency.
All City Council decisions around budget are informed by budget presentations, staff recommendations, and public delegations and feedback.
The City’s annual budget process includes a water and sewer rate-supported budget and a tax-supported budget. Hamilton City Council approved the 2024 water and sewer (rate) budget on December 13, 2023.
Members of the public interested in the City’s 2024 budget process can monitor the City’s website for budget-focused GIC meetings, which are streamed via the City’s website and the City’s YouTube channel.
