*Excludes special dedicated levy

**Includes $0.561 million for Corporate Capital Initiatives

Tax Supported 2024 Operating Budget Overview

The Tax Supported 2024 Operating Budget is $14.884 billion gross and $5.341 billion net. This represents a $1.133 billion or 8.2 percent increase in gross expenditures and a $0.433 billion or 8.8 percent increase in net expenditures over the 2023 Budget excluding COVID related financial impacts. While maintaining and preserving the services Torontonians rely on, this budget addresses key priorities, which includes implementation of new initiatives to support added investments strategically in transit, affordable housing, and public safety despite the difficult fiscal challenges. With the exception of transit and shelter impacts, all sustained COVID-19 impacts have now been included in the 2024 base budget funded by property tax for the ongoing need. A full list of new initiatives in 2024 Staff Prepared Operating Budget can be found in Appendix 1.4.

On a gross expenditure side, the Tax-Supported 2024 Operating Budget primarily allocates funds to Cost-Shared Social Programs (32%), Transit (17%), and Emergency Services (15%), with remaining 36 percent going towards other City Programs and Agencies. On the revenue side, the main funding source comes from Property Taxes (36%), Federal and Provincial revenues (26%), and the remaining 38 percent is generated through fees, investments and reserve draws.

Tax Supported 2024 – 2033 Capital Budget and Plan Overview

The Tax-Supported 2024 – 2033 Capital Budget and Plan totalling $28.697 billion is based on previously approved 10-Year Capital Plan and extended to 2033. The Tax-Supported 2024 – 2033 Capital Budget and Plan will require $9.301 billion in debt to be issued over the 10-year period. Capital projects are financed by various sources. The City’s priority is to ensure that it leverages and maximizes all non-City and non-debt funding first before it issues debt.

The Tax-Supported 2024 – 2033 Capital Budget and Plan focuses on investments in Transit ($13.0 billion), Transportation ($5.7 billion), Housing ($3.2 billion plus a further $5.3 billion provided through foregone revenues and land incentives); and includes priority investments for capital projects such as modernization of the subway and expanding capacity, HousingTO plan to support 4,455 new housing units, and addressing the State of Good Repair to bring the Toronto Community Housing Corporation and Toronto Seniors Housing Corporation (TCHC / TSHC) building portfolio into a state of good repair by 2027. The 10-year Capital Plan has applied a lens that ensures consideration for climate focus as part of the decision-making process, which includes investments in climate mitigation and adaptation actions aimed at reducing ~75,000 tonnes per CO2 while improving resilience to climate change.

Taken together, the 2024 - 2033 Capital Budget and Plan promotes achievability and affordability, continues to prioritize critical investments in State of Good Repair, and advances investments in transit and housing in order to prepare the City to meet service needs arising from continued service demand, population growth, recent Council commitments.
