Where do your Property Tax dollars go?
Each year, the Township undergoes a robust process to create an annual budget that delivers the services and programs residents and businesses rely on.
Did you know, out of all the property taxes you pay, the Township of Scugog only keeps 31% to operate its services and maintain the infrastructure that you use everyday.
Budgets can be complex, but they have a significant impact on the services we can offer. Your tax dollars are used to manage services in the community we live in to serve you better. Check out the list of services we provide for families and youth in Scugog!
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

Recreation programs
Road maintenance

Debt payments and transfers to reserves
