Every year, the financial planning process provides an opportunity for Council to set service levels and approve a City Budget. You're invited to provide feedback on the City of Victoria's 2024 Draft Budget at a public meeting on Thursday, April 25 at 6:30 p.m. at Victoria City Hall.

Council is considering a 7.93 per cent tax increase this year to continue to deliver more than 200 high-quality services and programs that Victoria residents and businesses depend on. This year's City Budget proposes to invest $336.4 million in operating and $153.3 million in capital improvements.

The City's 2024 Draft Budget has been informed by a random Ipsos telephone interview survey with 700 City of Victoria residents and a series of focused, budget community conversations co-hosted with eight, equity-seeking organizations and close to 80 community members they serve.

You can provide feedback in person, in writing, by phone or video. The public meeting will be live webcast on the City's website. All feedback will be shared with Council for consideration.
