Annual Budget

Striking a balance with service offerings, strategic investments, and keeping the overall tax increase in line with inflation.

Oakville’s annual budget is how we plan, fund, and deliver over 90 local services, from parks and fire protection to libraries and road maintenance. 

It reflects our commitment to maintaining high-quality services while investing in the future of our community.
