The Municipality of Huron East has officially adopted its 2026 budget, which includes a 3.2 per cent net levy impact on property owners.
The budget was deemed adopted following the end of council's 30-day amendment period on February 12.
According to the Municipality, it requires $12,387,401 in taxation revenue for 2026. That marks a $521,712 in additional levies compared to 2025. However, the impact of that increase was lessened by assessment growth.
This year's budget is said to support everyday services residents rely on, like road maintenance, recreation, protection services, and community facilities. The Municipality also noted that this year's process invited residents to get involved and help shape priorities.
Major investments for 2026 include Connecting Link Phase 2, Canada Company Road rural paving, and the expansion of the Seaforth Water and Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The final property tax impacts for residents will depend on the County of Huron’s budget, which is set to be discussed further at the February 18 meeting. County conucil's target tax rate is between four and six per cent.
