The Township of Scugog provides programs and services to the community based on an annual Operating and Capital budget. The 2022 budget planning process has begun. Input from the community is a vital part of the budget planning process. A Budget Information Package and annual Budget Feedback Form are developed in a continuing effort to increase taxpayers understanding of and participation in the annual budget process.
The Township hosts two Virtual Public Open House meetings, an opportunity for residents to review the budget, ask questions and provide feedback.

Scugog's Piece
Each year, the Township undergoes a robust process to create an annual budget that delivers the services and programs residents and businesses rely on each day.
Did you know, out of all the property taxes you pay the government each year, municipal taxes make up only 9% of the total amount. Of that 9%, the Township receives 3% from overall taxes to operate and plan for services and infrastructure that you use everyday.
Capital Budget
The Capital budget outlines Scugog's plan for long-term projects. Examples of capital expenses may include:
Infrastructure development, building and construction projects (e.g. building new roads, bridges and sidewalks)
Park and greenspace improvements
Fleet expansion and maintenance (e.g. purchasing new fire trucks and snow plows)
Operating Budget
The Operating budget outlines our spending plan for the upcoming year. This includes the day-to-day costs of running:
Fire and Emergency services
Township Facilities (e.g. Scugog Arena, Blackstock Recreation Complex, Birdseye Aquatic Facility, Scugog Public Library, Scugog Shores Museum and Town Hall)
Recreation programs
Road maintenance
By-law enforcement
Debt payments and transfers to reserves
Online & Paper Opportunities
Community members can also share their 2022 Township budget priorities:
by calling the Municipal office to request a paper budget feedback form at 905-985-7346.
Feedback received will be shared with members of Council and municipal staff during the 2022 municipal budget process. All individual responses will be anonymous and will only be used to summarize overall feedback received from the public.
