Budget and Finances

The municipal budget is Victoria County’s financial roadmap. It outlines how revenue is collected and how funds are allocated to deliver services and maintain infrastructure across the County. Below you will find recent financial statements, budgets and other financial related documents. For further inquiries please contact our Finance Department.

Victoria County develops its budget annually. Each year, Council reviews projected revenues and expenditures and adjusts the budget to reflect: 

  • Community priorities 
  • Service delivery requirements 
  • Infrastructure needs 
  • Financial sustainability 

The budget must be balanced. Municipalities in Nova Scotia are not permitted to budget for a deficit or use debt to fund operating expenses.
