Budget and Treasury
Seguin Township develops the annual operating budgets to pay for a wide range of municipal services and external levies such as general government, roads, waste, fire, parks and recreation, OPP, land ambulance, and district social services.
The Township also prepares multi-year capital budgets which fund capital infrastructure replacement and renewal as determined by Council.
The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing mandates a very detailed financial report which is available on the Ministry's website. The Financial Information Return provides a standardized reporting of a municipality’s financial activities in the previous fiscal year (January to December).
Section 294 (1) of the Municipal Act states that the treasurer of a municipality shall in each year provide the Minister with a return containing information designated by the Minister with respect to the financial affairs of the municipality. This takes the form of the annual Financial Information Return (FIR).
