The Town’s budget supports municipal operations, the maintenance and replacement of Town assets, and the delivery of services to the residents of the Town of Renfrew. Municipal operating and capital budgets are funded primarily by property taxes, user fees, and grants, and transfers from other levels of government. Each year, municipalities are required to balance their budgets and to allocate funding across service areas to ensure that levels-of-service established by Council are maintained. Unlike provincial and federal government levels, municipalities are not allowed to budget for deficits, and revenues must equal expenditures.
The Town’s annual operating budget funds a wide range of municipal services including fire and emergency services, winter control, road and park maintenance, recreation programs and facility operations, waste collection and management, policing, library services, planning and building services, and general administration. The Town’s capital budget funds the maintenance and replacement of roads and infrastructure, rolling stock (trucks, vehicles, equipment), as well as other capital priorities as determined by Town Council.
