Each year, the City of Vaughan passes a budget to determine how funds will be spent. The Property Tax Budget and the Water, Wastewater and Stormwater Budgets are discussed at the same time. The Finance, Administration and Audit Committee discusses the draft budget and listens to resident input during a series of meetings. After that, the budget goes to a Special Council Meeting for approval.

The City of Vaughan’s 2019 budget was approved on Feb. 20, 2019. The budget includes a three per cent increase to Vaughan’s portion of the property tax bill. That represents an additional $53 per year for the average home in Vaughan assessed at $891,000.
