It’s important to the City that residents have the opportunity to provide feedback on their priorities as the budget is developed. Feedback from the online survey and in-person events will help Council adopt a financial plan that reflects the community’s needs and priorities.

Budget process

Each year, based on Council direction, City staff develop an annual budget that outlines where, when, and how funds should be spent to deliver quality services to meet the needs of the community, support businesses, and deliver on strategic priorities.

The process of weighing the needs and requests of the community, maintaining service levels, and addressing key priorities results in the City's financial plan. Help shape City spending on the 2024 budget by taking our online survey and attending one of our open house sessions listed above.

    Will the previous tax increase be reduced now that we have provincial funding for the police transition?

    Shadow asked 20 days ago

    Please refer to Corporate Report R146 “Policing Transition Update”, September 11, 2023 

    In July 2023, the Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General confirmed that the Province will contribute $150 million towards the anticipated costs of the police transition, although this is likely not sufficient to cover anticipated costs. Decisions have not yet been made around tax increases that may be needed to balance the budget. Any tax increases within the draft budget will be impacted by the Province’s direction on policing in Surrey, external factors such as inflation, and findings from community engagement.
