Did you know that Dieppe has implemented a sound financial plan that strikes a balance between growth, development and improved services for residents? The plan helps the City avoid financial pitfalls, such as lack of life-cycle planning, unplanned expenditures and excessive borrowing.

By upholding the principles and objectives set out in the financial plan, and thanks to a growing tax base and a responsible approach over the years, the City was able to lower the property taxe rate in 2025 by 6.5 cents to $1.3650 for every $100 of assessed value.

Operating budget

This budget ensures the funding of all municipal services except for water and sewer, which are paid for directly by water and sewer account holders.

Property taxes (residential and commercial) $77.3 million
Community funding grant and equalization payment $400,000
Other revenue (building permits, arena rentals, Aquatic and Sports Centre, surplus from previous years) $7.6 million
Total $85.3 million
