Value for Your Property Tax DollarThe City’s approach to budgeting is multifaceted beginning with public consultation early in the process, applying adherence to strict budget guidelines to all departments, applying best practices, expenditure control and alternative revenue strategies. This structured approach provides the ability to maintain service levels and contain cost pressures thereby keeping residential and business property tax increases to a minimum.

Vaughan Healthcare Centre Precinct Development LevyThe need for a major health care facility has been recognized as the highest priority by the citizens of Vaughan. In 2009, Council approved a funding strategy that supports the Vaughan Healthcare Centre Precinct Development Levy which is raised through a dedicated property tax rate. This commitment is approximately $56 for the average home in Vaughan. The contribution does not form part of the City’s operations and as such will be shown separately on the property tax bill.

Budget OverviewThe City’s 2020 Operating Budget for City services totals $320 million. The 2020 Capital Budget is $195 million. The capital budget represents a significant capital investment in the City’s infrastructure and includes funding for roadways, water, wastewater, engineering services, parks development, buildings and facilities and other capital expenditure requirements. The property tax increase for City operations is 2.85% and represents an additional $49 per year, for an average home assessed at $891,000.
