Budgets & Finances

Section 290(1) of the Municipal Act requires local municipalities in each year to prepare and adopt a budget. The Municipality of Bayham currently prepares three budgets:

1.    Capital Budget

2.    Operating Budget

Budget Comments and Council Consideration 

Council encourages public consultations during the budget creation process. The purpose of the consultation is to ensure public input, in advisory nature, is heard prior to Council deliberating the budgets. Public comments obtained during the consultation period are incorporated as an appendix within the Staff Report presented to Council during the respective budget meetings. Comment deadlines and meeting dates will be updated on this page for each upcoming budget season. 

2026-2035 Capital Budget

The Municipality of Bayham is seeking comments on the 2026-2035 Capital Budget. Submit your comments by September 30, 2025 to consultations@bayham.on.ca.

Once all public comments have been received and reviewed, a draft budget will be posted for further public comments, where the additional comments will be accepted until a later date (TBA).

A Special Meeting is scheduled for Council to consider the 2026-2035 Capital Budget on Tuesday, November 4, 2025 at 6:30 pm.
