Caledon 2025 Budget
Caledon adopts 3% tax increase for 2025 Budget
The budget outlines a plan to fund key capital projects and essential services, featuring a 1% infrastructure levy and 2% property tax, for a total tax increase of 3%.
Understanding the Infrastructure Levy
An infrastructure levy is a dedicated portion of property taxes that helps maintain physical infrastructure such as roads, bridges and storm-water systems. The levy is a dedicated fund for long-term infrastructure needs as our infrastructure ages over time to support our community.
For 2025, the infrastructure levy was set at 1% of the overall property tax rate.
Supporting a State of Good Repair |
A State of Good Repair (SOGR) means that infrastructure assets are functioning as intended—safe, reliable and efficient. Keeping assets in a SOGR helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, reduces long-term costs and provides a high quality of service for residents. |
Closing the Infrastructure Funding Gap |
Like many municipalities, we face an infrastructure funding gap. The infrastructure levy is a proactive step toward closing this gap. It provides stable, dedicated funding to use in a more cost-effective manner to limit disruptive and costly repairs including emergency replacements. |
Asset Management |
We are working toward asset management best practices to ensure infrastructure investments are thoughtful and cost-effective. This includes:
This strategic approach ensures that levy funds are spent where they’re needed most. |
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) |
Why is the infrastructure levy needed? The levy represents 1% of the total tax rate. For example, if your annual property taxes are $3,000, about $30 would go toward the infrastructure levy. Levy funds are used for projects like road resurfacing, storm-water main replacements, building repairs and other infrastructure supported by the Asset Management Plan. The levy is reviewed each year as part of the annual budget process. It may change based on infrastructure needs, quality of services and long-term financial planning. Residents can visit the Town’s Asset Management webpage, attend public budget meetings or contact the Town with questions or comments. |
