The Township of Essa Council has approved its 2025 budget, totaling $38.2 million, with a 3.26% tax increase, equivalent to $25.61 per $100,000 of assessed residential value. Priorities include replacing aged assets, addressing growth, and upgrading infrastructure. Highlights feature fire services enhancements, road urbanization, bridge replacements, and park improvements. Despite pressures, Essa maintains the lowest tax rate among Simcoe County’s 16 municipalities. Provincial support offsets rising policing costs, ensuring sustainable services and critical investments.
