City Budget

Advancing Council priorities

The City undertakes an annual budget process to create budgets that support City operations and deliver the programs and services required to maintain the high quality of life we enjoy in our community.

From plowing the snow in the winter to opening the public pools in the summer, to transit and infrastructure, fire and paramedic services you rely on every day - your taxes go towards running City services. Every day, as a City of Hamilton tax payer, you place your trust in our employees to provide you with high quality, efficient services and programs that matter most to you. We do this by managing the budget today and planning for tomorrow.
