On Wednesday, January 22, 2025, Council for the Township of South Stormont officially adopted the 2025 Municipal Operating and Capital Budgets. The 2025 budget represents a 6.9% township tax rate increase from 2024. Property taxes amount to 44.4% of total revenue for the Township in the 2025 municipal budget.
