Municipalities create budgets each year to account for all public funding, and to ensure that services can be maintained or improved. Kentville has two main budgets:

• Operating Budget: The day-to-day expenses of the town, including staff salaries, are managed under this budget. For example gas for vehicles, small tools to maintain parks and trails, and fertilizer for the baseball fields.
• Capital Budget: Larger or longer-term purchases are managed under this budget. For example trucks, irrigation under the baseball fields, and grandstands.

The town has other budgets for separate entities like the water commission and sanitary sewer. All our budgets are available for you to review, at the bottom of this page.
