Inside City Hall

City Council has approved its 2022 budget. The following is a brief summary.

describes 2022 budget components

At its regular meeting on Monday, February 14, Stratford City Council approved the 2022 budget by-law, which is an estimate of the revenue and expenses for the upcoming year.

2022 final operating budget

2022 final capital budget

2022 budget questions and answers

The 2022 budget reflects an overall municipal tax levy increase of 7.6%. The tax levy is the amount of money the City requires from taxpayers to fund the programs and services it offers.

This year, the total tax levy is $68.2 million, which is the difference between the City’s estimated operating expenses of $134.8 million, and its estimated revenues of $66.6 million.

Please note that the tax levy increase is not the same as the increase in a property owner’s taxes. There are a number of factors that will determine the amount of property taxes someone pays, including the current assessed value of the property, as well as the specific tax rates (local and education) for that property class.

In other words, a tax levy increase of 7.6% does not mean your taxes will increase by 7.6% this year. Some property taxes will increase, and some will decrease depending on the property tax classification and assessment values relative to other properties.

For the average residential homeowner with a property valued at $350,000 (based on the 2016 assessment), this year’s tax levy increase represents roughly an additional $236.16 annually on the municipal portion of the tax bill, which will appear on your final tax bills to be issued in June.

If you have any questions regarding your tax bill, please contact our office at 519-271-0250 extension 5211 and we would be happy to provide additional information, specific to your property.
