PRINCE GEORGE – The City of Prince George’s citizen budget survey launched today, giving residents a chance to share their thoughts regarding the upcoming 2025 budget.

“As in previous years, the Citizen Budget simulator allows participants to explore City budget allocations for various municipal services. Ratepayers can enter their property tax assessment into the platform to see how their tax dollars are distributed across City operations, such as roads, transportation, and other services. Participants can adjust funding allocations to understand how changes to service levels affect their tax bill,” a City press release says.

Open until November 8, the City says anyone that does the survey can share their preferences on how they hope tax dollars are spent, and also explore the financial impacts of different budget priorities. Anyone who completes the survey can be entered to win a $100 gift card to a local business of their choice.

Beyond this citizen budget survey, other surveys are also available for residents to share their thoughts. This includes check-up surveys on the City’s website regarding city services, such as parks and trails, snow removal, and more. A budget open house will also take place on October 30 at the Prince George Conference and Civic Centre.
