The Municipality of Brockton is responsible for managing and investing your tax dollars to meet the needs of the community. Each year a budget is adopted that is split into two central areas:
2026 Budget
As of May 1, 2025, the Government of Ontario expanded strong mayor powers to the Municipality of Brockton. As part of the strong mayor powers, Mayor Peabody has a duty to prepare and propose the budget before February 1st. As part of the process, the Mayor’s budget is subject to Council amendments, a Mayoral veto and Council override. Visit our Mayor's Budget webpage to learn more about this new budget process under Strong Mayor Powers.
The Municipality of Brockton’s 2026 Budget was deemed adopted on January 15, 2026. Read the Press Release for additional information on this year's budget.
The 2026 Municipal Budget includes a total tax rate increase of 2.64% and a total levy of $13,624,278. On the average household assessment this results in a $89.27 yearly increase, or a $7.44 monthly increase.
This year’s budget was developed with a focus on maintaining our essential services, recognizing the economic challenges facing our residents, and ensuring the long-term sustainability of our growing community.
