Proposed tax-supported budget would see average property tax increase of $318.40
Each year, residents are invited to speak before councillors or write in to offer opinions as the city develops its budget.

Hamilton's proposed budget for 2025 would see property taxes increase by 6.3 per cent. If approved by council, the mayor's tax-supported budget would mean a tax increase of $318.40 on average, according to the city.

With that, the 2025 net budget would be $1.25 billion, and total gross budget $2.81 billion.

Mayor Andrea Horwath and city councillors have said they've had to play "catch-up" due to previous terms of council delaying spending on capital projects such as road upgrades and social programs such as affordable housing.

We need fresh blood in council. This is ridiculous . Everyone is spineless .
