The City of Mississauga has adopted its 2026 budget, prioritizing investments in infrastructure, transit, public safety and development services while keeping the city’s portion of the property tax increase below the current rate of inflation.

City council approved the budget following a multi-month consultation process that included ward town halls, budget committee meetings and public feedback. The budget maintains funding for more than 200 city programs and services while advancing key capital projects across the city.

The city’s 2026 budget increase is 4.39 per cent, translating into a 1.61 per cent increase on the municipal portion of the property tax bill. When combined with the Region of Peel’s 3.60 per cent increase, the total property tax increase for residents will be 5.21 per cent in 2026 — four per cent lower than the increase approved in 2025.
