Tell us what matters most to you

The City is building the 2027-2030 budget this year. City Administration will share the recommended budget this fall, and Council will debate and decide on the budget in December. But first, we need to hear from you.

The budget will set City services, construction projects, property taxes and user fees for the next four years, so it will have a big impact on your life and on your community.

The next four-year budget will be about trade-offs and weighing the diverse needs and perspectives of over 1.2 million Edmontonians. City Administration and Council will have to make difficult choices to find the best balance between delivering the services and construction projects Edmontonians need, and limiting increases to the property taxes and user fees needed to help to pay for them.

These decisions must be informed by the experiences, needs and interests of as many Edmontonians as possible. We want to know what matters to you.

How to get involved

From March 23 to May 1, Edmontonians are invited to share their feedback for the 2027-2030 budget. The main ways you can share your thoughts with us are:

  • Use the Balance the Budget Tool: Dig into this year’s operating budget and show us what changes you would make.
  • Take the What Matters to You Survey: Tell us your priorities for City services and construction projects, and your preferences on property taxes and user fees.
  • Attend a drop-in engagement session in your ward in April (in-person)

You may also see our engagement teams at locations across the city gathering input from business and community organizations, and from Edmontonians whose voices may otherwise get missed.

How feedback will be used

Budgeting is about making choices and trade-offs. Your feedback will inform City Administration as they build the budget, and will be shared with City Council this fall to support their decision-making as they debate, adjust and approve the budget in December.

We acknowledge the traditional land on which we reside, is in Treaty Six Territory. We would like to thank the diverse Indigenous Peoples whose ancestors’ footsteps have marked this territory for centuries, such as nêhiyaw (Cree), Dené, Anishinaabe (Saulteaux), Nakota Isga (Nakota Sioux), and Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) peoples. We also acknowledge this as the Métis’ homeland and the home of one of the largest communities of Inuit south of the 60th parallel. It is a welcoming place for all peoples who come from around the world to share Edmonton as a home. Together we call upon all of our collective, honoured traditions and spirits to work in building a great city for today and future generations.
