How to participate in the City of Mississauga’s 2026 Budget

Every year, the City creates a budget to determine which programs and services to fund, where infrastructure investments are needed and how much to collect from property taxes. The proposed budget is presented to Budget Committee for consideration. Public feedback is an important part of this process.

Save the date

In previous years, the City’s budget discussions took place in late fall. The City’s proposed 2026 Budget will be released on January 6, 2026 and Budget Committee meetings begin January 12, 2026. This new timeline ensures the total impact of the Region of Peel’s budget, including the cost of policing services, is considered during the City’s 2026 Budget discussions.

How to get involved in the 2026 Budget

The City of Mississauga’s proposed 2026 Budget will be available online at mississauga.ca/budget for public review starting January 6, 2026. Members of the public will have many options to provide feedback.
