Budget Engagement

How would you spend your tax dollars?

Every day, you see your tax dollars at work providing services like roads, transit, libraries and parks, just to name a few.

What would you make a priority? How would you balance the varying needs, wants and expectations of your community through the City budget?

It’s your money, so tell us how you want it spent using the Budget Allocator Tool.

Feedback received by midnight on January 6, 2023 will be shared with Council during the 2023 business plan and budget deliberations.

Note: the Budget Allocator Tool is an informational tool, and uses approximate figures based on the City of Barrie's 2022 budget data as of October 2022 from eleven major service areas, and is for educational purposes only. It does not represent the entire City of Barrie budget. Many additional service areas and factors will be taken into consideration when developing the 2023 Budget.

Want to learn how the City invested your 2022 tax dollars? Barrie homeowners can get a personalized taxpayer receipt that provides a breakdown of how their money was used to fund City and partner services.
