2026 - 2030 Surrey Financial Plan

MESSAGE FROMTHE CFO/GENERAL MANAGER, FINANCE

Overall, more than 100,000 community members were informed through this budget engagement by visiting the website, receiving direct emails, or engaging through social media. To fund City strategies, including funding public safety, transportation and resource requirements to maintain service delivery and to fund community priorities based on the feedback obtained during the City's budget engagement process, a General Property tax increase of 2.6% in 2026 was required. This modest increase continues to keep the City in the bottom third of the region for property taxes collected for the respective average assessed home in Metro Vancouver. Finally, I would like to acknowledge the exemplary staff that the City of Surrey is proud to employ. It is their hard work, dedication and commitment to the delivery of quality services to Surrey citizens and businesses that makes our City world class.

Respectfully,

Kam Grewal, BBA, CPA CFO / General Manager, Finance
