Planning for the year ahead
The City of Mission is developing its 2027 budget and 2027–2031 Financial Plan.
The budget sets out how the City will fund everyday services, maintain roads, parks and facilities, and invest in the infrastructure our community needs. The five-year financial plan helps the City plan for these costs over time and is updated annually.
This page will be updated as budget discussions progress, with presentations, proposed changes and opportunities to provide feedback.

Understanding the budget
What does the City’s budget pay for?
The budget supports municipal services such as fire protection, policing, road maintenance, parks, recreation, planning and bylaw services. It also includes utility services such as water, sewer, drainage and curbside collection.
What is the difference between operating and capital budgets?
The operating budget pays for the day-to-day delivery of City services, including staffing, supplies, utilities and ongoing maintenance.
The capital budget pays for building, replacing or improving assets such as roads, water pipes, playgrounds, vehicles and public facilities.
What is the five-year financial plan?
The five-year financial plan sets out planned spending and funding for the coming year and forecasts for the following four years. It helps the City prepare for future service and infrastructure needs.
The plan is reviewed and updated each year.
What will the 2027 budget mean for my property taxes and utility fees?
Information about proposed municipal property tax and utility fee changes will be added as budget discussions progress.
Municipal property taxes and utility fees are separate charges. The impact on an individual property depends on its assessment and the services it receives.
How can I provide feedback?
Public consultation is scheduled for late January 2027. Participation details will be posted here ahead of that date.
