2024 Budget
Consultation has concluded.
Norfolk County is seeking your input in prioritizing services and investments for the coming year.
2024 Proposed Capital and Operating Budgets
The Financial Management and Planning Department coordinates the preparation and management of the annual budget. The final, approved budgets are the result of an in-depth review process by the County's Senior Leadership Team (SLT) and ultimately by Council for final approval.
The budget is the financial plan that directs the flow of funds to programs and services in Norfolk County. Careful budget planning and control ensure that funds are used as effectively as possible to meet the needs of the community now and into the future. Financial Management and Planning produces three separate budgets on an annual basis - the Tax Budget (also called the Levy Supported Operating Budget), the Capital Plan (sometimes referred to as the Capital Budget), and the Water and Wastewater Budget (also known as the Rate Supported Operating Budget).
The annual budget process provides an avenue to prioritize and balance the allocation of available resources and ultimately deliver services to the community.
Norfolk County is seeking your input in prioritizing services and investments for the coming year. The comments you submit will be considered by Council and staff in the budget process. All feedback received prior to October 10 will also be included in a Budget Engagement Update report to the Budget Committee on November 26. This report will provide Council with an update on the budget process and include the feedback and themes of the 2024 budget engagement campaign.
Any feedback received after October 10 will be shared with Council prior to the January budget deliberations.
