The budget is our key planning document to support decision-making on City infrastructure and services in order to meet the needs of our community. 

You can now see how the City invested your 2022 tax dollars with a personalized, estimated residential property tax receipt!

Get your residential property tax receipt now!

Enter your assessed property value for a line-by-line account of how much City programs and services cost you in 2022. Renters can request their property value from their landlord or enter Oshawa’s average assessed property value ($356,000) to get an idea of a how much City services may have cost them.

Get your Taxpayer Receipt!

The Taxpayer Receipt generates only the City’s portion of an Oshawa resident’s or property owner’s tax bill.

Don’t forget: the City is part of a two-tier government, and as a result collects property taxes on behalf of not only the City, but also the Regional Municipality of Durham and the Province for local school boards. For every dollar collected in 2022, approximately 43 cents were allocated to the Region and 16 cents to local school boards – the City kept only 41 cents!

2023 City Budget Engagement

The City’s 2023 Budget Engagement will kick off this October with a new budgeting tool.

Stay tuned for your chance to test spending options for many City services and programs by increasing or decreasing their budgets while having to maintain a balanced budget.

Operating & Capital Budgets

The City's budget is aligned with the goals of the Oshawa Strategic Plan, Financial Strategy and Council's guiding principles of sustainability and financial stewardship. It is made up of an operating and capital budget that:

  • balances competing priorities and challenges
  • provides affordable services and programs that meet our community needs
  • invests in our city by maintaining and building infrastructure, including roads, sidewalks, trails and parks
  • saves for the future by increasing our reserve balances to ensure the financial health of the City

The operating budget plans for the cost of delivering services such as snow removal, road maintenance and fire services and maintaining current infrastructure.

The capital budget plans for the costs of constructing and renewing buildings, roads and parks and investing in key strategic priorities for the city's future.
