Notice of Intention to Adopt 2025 Municipal Budget

On November 21st, the Committee of the Whole recommended the 2025 Draft Budget be brought forth to Council for adoption. After thorough deliberations, the final tax rate, which includes a 3.56% increase for Township services, was agreed upon. Like many other municipalities, Loyalist Township is faced with a substantial increase (21%) to the OPP contract rate for 2025. This increase set by the OPP impacts the Township budget by an additional 2.34%, resulting in an overall 5.9% increase to the Township tax levy.

Revised levy requirement following public input and Council deliberations

Notice is provided that Loyalist Township Council intends to enact a By-law to adopt the 2025 Municipal Budget at its Regular Meeting scheduled for December 10, 2024 at 6:00 p.m. Members of the public are welcome to attend the meeting at the Municipal Office, or watch the livestream of the meeting on the Township Council Portal.

Council would like to express their sincere appreciation to the members of the public who attended the budget meetings and those that contributed to the consultation process through budget surveys.
