2025 Budget
Norfolk County wants your input in prioritizing services and investments for 2025.
Norfolk County is inviting residents to participate in shaping the County’s future by providing input on the prioritization of services and investments for the upcoming year. Council and staff will consider all ideas, comments, and suggestions as part of the 2025 budget process.
The budget serves as the County’s financial blueprint, guiding the allocation of funds to essential programs and services. Meticulous budget planning and oversight ensure that resources are utilized efficiently to meet the community’s present and future needs.
Norfolk County produces three budgets each year:
Levy Supported Operating Budget, commonly referred to as the Tax Budget
Levy Supported Capital Plan, sometimes called the Capital Budget
Rate Supported Budget, also known as the Water and Wastewater Budget
