An online surevey is available until December 10.

Residents of South Frontenacs are being asked to give their input as the Township prepares for their 2027 budget deliberations.

The Township have put out a survey that is available online until Dec 10. 

The survey will ask whether residents would like to see a reasonable increase to enhance services, increase taxes only enough to maintain current services, or keep municipal taxes as low as possible, even if this means reducing, changing, or delaying some Township services, programs, and infrastructure projects. 

The tax hike in 2026 was 3.52 percent or an average increase of $64.80 a year. It was 4.41 percent in 2025.

Director of Finance and Treasurer Stephanie Kuca says the survey gives residents an opportunity to share their ideas and priorities. She says the input will help inform decisions that support a strong and vibrant South Frontenac.

Mayor Ron Vandewal says they value the feedback of their residents and it will paint a clear picture of where our residents want to see their tax dollars used in our community.
