Toronto City Building Fund Levy
The City Building Fund is a dedicated portion of Toronto property taxes that pays for transit and housing capital projects. The 2026 budget raises this levy by 1.5 percent, adding to homeowners' bills to fund projects like transit maintenance and expansion. Supporters say steady, dedicated funding is needed for aging infrastructure. Opponents say it adds to affordability pressures on top of the base tax increase. It was adopted with the budget.
