Your Budget, Your Innisfil

We're building the Town of Innisfil's 2025/2026 Budget and want to hear from you!

Within the overall budget, there is an operating budget and a capital budget. The operating budget addresses the day-to-day cost of providing services to residents and businesses. The capital budget looks ahead to identify the infrastructure that we need to build and maintain.

What goes into making the Town's Budget?

Every two years, we develop a service-based budget. We use various tools to help inform our decision-making, including:

• User Fees and Charges - These fees account for services we provide that people pay for beyond their tax dollars such as marriage ceremonies, building permits, and facility rentals.
• Community Engagement - This is where you come in to tell us your priorities for the Town's budget!
• Strategic and Master Plans - Many plans set the long-term vision for what Innisfil needs, such as new parks, roads and facilities or improvements to water and sewer servicing.
• Guiding financial policies - Various financial policies help guide how we spend and invest money, such as how we pay off municipal debt, fund capital projects, or use OLG revenue.
