City of Windsor’s 2022 Budget Includes 1.9% Tax Hike

Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens, Chief Administrative Officer Jason Reynar and City Treasurer Joe Mancina presented the proposed 2022 City of Windsor municipal budget that will be considered by City Council on December 13, 2021.

Officials say this budget continues to make massive investments in Windsor’s roads, sewers, parks and social services but also limits the overall tax increase to 1.9%.

“We are delivering results by prioritizing the needs of Windsor residents: investments in public infrastructure renewal, social services, transit, parks and recreation, and culture programing. We are delivering for residents who have been hit hard by the global pandemic and are facing rising costs at grocery stores and gas stations by limiting our overall tax levy increase to about half the rate of inflation next year.”

Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens
