5 Year Financial Plan

What is a 5 Year Financial Plan?
The Community Charter requires that Council adopt a 5 Year Financial Plan each year prior to the adoption of the annual Property Tax Bylaw. The purpose of the 5 Year Financial Plan is to provide a budgetary framework for the City to plan the management of its resources, revenues and expenditures in order to best serve the community. The following video provides an introduction to the City's budget process.

The Consolidated 5 Year Financial Plan combines the 2022 Utilities Budget (approved by Council on November 8,2021), the 2022 Operating Budget, 2022 Capital Budget and the 2022 One-Time Expenditures (all of which were approved by Council on December 6, 2021). The 2022 Richmond Public Library Budget was approved by Council on December 6,2021.
