Annual Budgets

The annual budget is the City's plan for how tax dollars are spent to fund the programs, services and infrastructure our residents rely on every day, such as roads, parks, public safety and community services. 

The annual budget is made up of departmental operating and capital budgets as well as the 10-year capital plan, which helps us to invest responsibly in long-term infrastructure and asset replacement such as roads, sidewalks, and sewer and water services. Strategic planning documents also help inform the 10-year capital plan and forecast.

Strong mayor legislation

In 2025 the City of Orillia Mayor was granted powers under Part VI.1 of the Municipal Act which includes proposing the City's annual budget. The Mayor's Budget is subject to Council amendments and a Mayoral veto and Council override process.
