2027 Budget
The process to review and approve the City of Burlington’s 2027 budget will begin in December 2026, after Burlington’s 2026 municipal election is complete and the new City Council is sworn in.
Engagement opportunities to tell us about your priorities for the 2027 budget will begin in September 2026 with an online survey and the annual Food for Feedback event on Sept. 12.
For a preliminary look at the financial pressures expected to impact the 2027 budget, view the Financial Forecast report (FIN-11-26) presented to City Council in June 2026.
Work to review and approve the City of Burlington’s 2027 budget will begin in December 2026, after Burlington’s 2026 municipal election is complete and the new City Council is sworn in (Nov. 16, 2026).
Engagement opportunities to tell us about your priorities for the 2027 budget are underway now with the annual online budget survey. Hearing from you is an important step in the budget process. With rising costs and global economic shifts, better understanding your priorities will assist City Council in their decision making as they strive to balance affordability and maintain the essential services that provide for a high-quality of life in our city.
Please use this survey to share which city services and programs matter most to you. Your feedback will be shared with City Council to help guide their discussion and decisions on the 2027 budget.
As a reminder, the City of Burlington is not responsible for garbage/recycling collection, police, public health and paramedic services. These services are managed by Halton Region.
