2020 Budget

Northumberland County goes through a rigorous budgeting and planning process each year. Each operating department develops an annual business plan that is aligned with the County’s corporate Strategic Plan. This process looks at programs and services, budgets and key priorities for the year. In addition to the annual budget, the long term plan is reviewed and updated to create a rolling 10-year financial plan.

For an overview of the budget, view our 2020 Budget Overview infographic or the presentation slides from the 2020 Budget & Long-Term Plan Overview, presented to County Council on February 12 and 13, 2020.

The departmental budgets, long-term plans, business plans and issue papers are available below.

Financial Framework Survey

As part of this annual budgeting and planning process, Northumberland County engages with residents to review and confirm long-term financial priorities. These priorities ultimately direct the focus of projects and resources brought forward through the budget. 

In 2019, the County conducted a survey from July 25 to August 14, seeking feedback on key areas of focus for the County's long-term financial plan.  The survey was available online or in hard-copy for approximately three weeks, and received over 370 responses from across Northumberland. 

Survey results were shared in a report to County Council in August 2019, as a key input within the long-term financial planning framework for drafting of the 2020 Budget and updating of the long-term financial plan. Staff then prepared departmental draft budgets and business plans, and a consolidated 2020 Draft Budget was presented to County Council for consideration in December 2019.
