The City is inviting residents and property owners to share their budget priorities and learn more about how their taxes are used in its Budget Simulator.

Share your budget priorities

Share what services and programs are important to you by adjusting funding and service levels in our Budget Simulator. Just like the City’s budget, your budget simulation will need to be balanced in order to be submitted!

Share your priorities now:

online at oshawa.ca/MyBudget; or,
on paper at Service Oshawa (located at City Hall, 50 Centre St. S.) during regular business hours.

Balanced budgets can be submitted until 12 p.m. Monday, June 9. All individual responses will be anonymous and only used to summarize overall feedback received from the public. Feedback will be shared with members of Council and considered in the development of the 2026 Mayor’s Budget.
