The City is building the 2027-2030 budget this year. City Administration will share the recommended budget this fall, and Council will debate and decide on the budget in December. But first, we need to hear from you.

The budget will set City services, construction projects, property taxes and user fees for the next four years, so it will have a big impact on your life and on your community.

The next four-year budget will be about trade-offs and weighing the diverse needs and perspectives of over 1.2 million Edmontonians. City Administration and Council will have to make difficult choices to find the best balance between delivering the services and construction projects Edmontonians need, and limiting increases to the property taxes and user fees needed to help to pay for them.

These decisions must be informed by the experiences, needs and interests of as many Edmontonians as possible. We want to know what matters to you.

How to get involved

From March 23 to May 1, Edmontonians are invited to share their feedback for the 2027-2030 budget. The main ways you can share your thoughts with us are:

• Use the Balance the Budget Tool: Explore this year's operating budget and show us what changes you would make.
• Take the What Matters to You Survey: Tell us your priorities for City services and construction projects, and your preferences on property taxes and user fees. Available in English, French (Français), Arabic (العربية), Chinese (Simplified – 简体中文), Chinese (Traditional – 繁體中文), Punjabi (ਪੰਜਾਬੀ), Filipino (Tagalog), and Spanish (Español).
• Attend a drop-in engagement session in your ward (in-person): Sessions will be held throughout April.

You may also see our engagement teams at locations across the city gathering input from Edmontonians.
