Just like the City’s budget, your budget simulation will need to be balanced in order to be submitted!
Balanced budgets can be submitted until 12 p.m. Monday, June 9. All individual responses will be anonymous and only used to summarize overall feedback received from the public. Feedback will be shared with members of Council and considered in the development of the 2026 Mayor’s Budget.

Property Tax Calculator
See how much City programs and services are costing you by entering your Oshawa address into the City’s Property Tax Calculator.
The Property Tax Calculator has been updated for 2025!
This handy tool gives you a personalized estimate of how your property tax dollars are split up. As a two-tier municipality, the City collects taxes not just for itself, but also for the Region of Durham and local school boards on behalf of the Province.
Did you know that for every dollar collected in 2025, the City keeps about 40 cents, while 46 cents goes to the Region and 14 cents to the Province.
