About the Town's budget

The Town of Aurora is a lower tier municipality that receives the majority of its revenues from property taxes. The Town develops a budget for every fiscal year. The development of each annual budget is an extensive, thorough process, involving stakeholders’ input and reflecting decisions made throughout the year. Town priorities align with Council’s priorities and our approved Strategic Plan; all of which are heavily influenced by the Town’s businesses and residents.

The majority of the Town’s total budget is allocated to its front line services such as roads, parks, recreation, fire, development and library services. The remaining budget funds are allocated to resources required to support its front line services.

The Town’s priorities align with those of Council, as well as its approved Strategic Plan, all of which are heavily influenced by the Town’s businesses and residents.

Overall the Town strives to ensure that every approved budget:

• Allows for the continued delivery of the Town’s programs and services that residents have come to expect
• Achieves all defined service levels
• Invests in the long term sustainability of the Town’s essential infrastructure
• Supports the Town’s strategic plan objectives
