Budget 2024-2025

The municipal budget is the City’s business plan for the year. It describes the costs associated with providing the municipal services our community relies on, and the revenues that make these services possible. The budget enables residents to build an understanding about how taxes are used to invest in new infrastructure, repair existing assets and provide daily services that significantly impact the quality of life of residents in Greater Sudbury.

What is a Multi-Year Budget?

The Municipal Act, 2001 authorizes a municipality to prepare and adopt a budget covering a period of two to five years.

In a multi-year budget, Council approves service plans and budgets for more than one year at a time, subject to annual re-adoption, to fund the priorities in Council’s Strategic Plan.

Why is the City Preparing a Multi-Year Budget?

This municipal budget will be the first multi-year budget prepared by the City of Greater Sudbury. The operating budget will be for two years, from 2024-2025, while the capital budget will be for four years (2024-2027).
