2025 BUDGET
Budget
As the City presents the Draft Five-Year Financial Plan (2025–2029) and the Draft 2025 Budget, community input is essential in helping Council balance the costs of delivering programs, services, and priorities that maintain a high quality of life in West Kelowna.
This year’s proposed net increase in the Draft 2025 Budget is 7.43% for municipal taxes.
The budgeting process involves addressing challenges such as maintaining existing service levels, managing the demands of a rapidly growing community, and balancing the rising costs of inflation and interest rates. Developing the budget requires thoughtful decision-making. Council values your feedback to guide investment decisions, ensuring they align with community priorities and support fiscal responsibility now and into the future.
Your continued input is needed to guide the investments and operations in West Kelowna as the budget process proceeds.
SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE 2025 BUDGET Get involved in shaping the budget process that guides tax rates, investments, and operations in West Kelowna. Learn about the process, see how your City tax dollars are spent, and share what matters most to you—citywide and in your neighbourhood.
NEXT STEPS: MOVING FORWARD After completing the Draft 2025 Budget engagement, staff will present a report to Council summarizing the feedback received and will seek direction on any changes before the 2025 Budget is approved and the Financial Bylaw is adopted in the spring. We will continue to engage with our community throughout 2025 and beyond on City projects, initiatives, programs, and services. CITY OF
