2026 Budget Approved

On December 8, 2025, Council approved the 2026 – 2030 Five Year Financial Plan Bylaw. The detailed Financial Plan and Highlights documents will be available in early 2026.

Coquitlam’s 2026 Budget takes a balanced, responsible approach, one that recognizes today’s affordability challenges while ensuring the City continues to deliver on the services and amenities the community relies on. It supports current needs without compromising the City’s long-term stability, helping to maintain resilience in a challenging economic time.

Thank you to everyone who provided input during our 2026 budget planning process. Community feedback again played a key role in shaping the budget, with residents and businesses highlighting affordability and reliable services as top priorities. In response, the City is continually looking for ways to reduce the impact on taxpayers without disrupting the essential services our community relies on. Learn more.

Background

Each year, City staff create a five-year financial plan and annual budget for City Council to consider. The budget outlines City spending across key service areas such as public safety, parks, recreation, transportation, garbage and green waste collection, and more. The Community Charter requires the City's budget to be balanced — meaning the City cannot plan to spend more than it brings in each year.
