Approved 2026 Budget
Greater Sudbury City Council approved the 2026 municipal budget on December 3, 2025, achieving a reduction of nearly 2 per cent from the tax levy increase originally tabled on November 4. The budget includes targeted investments in infrastructure, public safety and employee well-being.
Originally presented as a two-year budget, Council opted to approve funding for 2026 only due to recent organizational changes and upcoming elections. However, the capital budget was readopted for 2026-2027.
Impact on Property Taxes
For a homeowner with a property assessed at $350,000 the approved budget means a monthly change of approximately $19.
The 3.9 per cent property tax increase can be broken down as:
- 0.5 per cent increase to support municipal operations
- 0.8 per cent for capital funding
- 2.3 per cent increase for Greater Sudbury Police Service
- 0.3 per cent increase for other service partners
