Please check back to this page for details on the 2025-26 municipal budget.
The Regional Municipality’s budget determines the amount of money required to support each municipal service (fire, police, schools, infrastructure, etc.). Council must approve the budget, and all anticipated expenditures must be accounted for.
On May 29, 2024, West Hants Regional Municipal Council approved the following budgets:
The Operating Budget covers the day-to-day spending on services such as waste management, protective services, park maintenance and programming. The Water Utility Operating Budgets cover the daily operations of the water utilities that provide safe drinking water to customers in the communities of Hantsport, Windsor, Three Mile Plains, and Falmouth, and are included in the Operating Budget.
The Capital Budget funds the Municipality’s infrastructure, which supports service delivery related to sidewalks, water and wastewater infrastructure, roads, parks and more.
The Reserve Budget effectively supports municipal assets management planning. This enables the Municipality to save for future infrastructure development and unforeseen costs, avoid debt, and comply with legislative requirements.
