2025 Budget

Update (Dec. 5, 2024) - The City of Quinte West has approved a tax increase of 5.98% for 2025. Read the full update on the City's website here.

Each year, the City of Quinte West undertakes an annual budget process to create budgets that support city operations and deliver the programs, services and facilities we enjoy in our community.

The Budget is more than dollars and cents. The Budget is a financial plan that outlines the estimated revenue and expenses needed to fund the day-to-day costs of delivering services such as fire protection, maintenance of parks, economic development services, and community events, and long-term investments such as renewing existing roadways, renovating City buildings and arenas, and buying equipment used to provide services.

Through the budget process each year, choices are made to ensure the City services provided to residents align with the priorities in the City of Quinte West's Strategic Plan.
