These budgets take into consideration Council’s Strategic Plan while ensuring service level standards and the community’s priorities are met. Prior to May 15 each year, Council must adopt both a Five-Year Financial Plan Bylaw and a Property Tax Rates Bylaw. ### What is an operating budget?

Examples of these items include fire and police services, roads and park structures maintenance, bylaw enforcement, building inspections, and staff salaries. ### How is the operating budget funded? Langford’s operating budget is funded through property tax revenue, user fees and permits, grants, investments, and transfers from various reserves. ### What is a capital budget? The capital budget outlines the City’s acquisition, construction, and replacement of capital assets. Examples of these projects include vehicle and equipment replacement, construction of roads, park structures, trail improvements, and land acquisition. ### How are capital projects funded?
