The County of Prince Edward is seeking public feedback and input to help inform the 2026 municipal budget.
In its Strategic Plan 2023-2026, County Council committed to supporting resident participation in the budgeting process. Over the next several years, the municipality will seek to bring more voices to the conversation about how your tax dollars are spent.

The goals of this consultation:
Give the public the opportunity to provide their input in order to influence the allocation of public resources
Determine the level of support for Council’s priorities and the level of desired investment in those priorities
Generate ideas from the public on how the municipality can further improve services and performance
Educate the public about the budget process as well as the opportunities and constraints that staff and council face when determining the budget each year
Explore other ways the municipality can engage residents on the budget in future years
Please note: Council has approved the water and wastewater rates for the period 2022-2026. The municipality will study the rates in 2026 in order to set them for 2027-2031. Public consultation will occur as part of that rate study.
Council will consider the proposed budget beginning on Monday, December 1. The public can attend the budget meetings in person at Shire Hall or watch them live on the County’s YouTube channel.
