Lowest among neighbouring municipalities: Proposed Oakville property tax increase approaching 5 per cent

Oakville's proposed budget for 2025 includes a property tax increase of 4.84% to 4.91%. The mayor emphasized that the budget supports growth and maintains essential services. The overall tax increase results from a projected 6% tax levy, offset by a zero percent education rate increase and a 5.99% rise in the Halton Region tax levy. Key budget allocations include funding for parks, transit vehicle refurbishments, and community services. Residents can provide feedback at a special council meeting on December 12 and propose amendments before the budget approval on December 19.
