As required under the Cities and Towns Act, the Town of Rosemère tabled its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, at the council meeting on June 8, 2026. The statements show a surplus of $2,281,100.

“The 2025 financial statements provide a clear and accurate picture of the Town’s financial position,” said Rosemère Mayor Marie-Elaine Pitre. “The responsible management of public funds remains at the heart of our priorities: we are committed to administering municipal resources with rigour to ensure the long-term sustainability of services and infrastructure for our community. I am proud to note that the BCGO accounting firm has issued an unqualified audit opinion for the year.”

Operating revenues and expenditures

Operating revenues for 2025 amounted to $42.9 million, $2.2 million higher than originally budgeted. The increase was generated primarily by the property transfer tax.

Operating expenditures and allocations totalled $40.6 million, representing $0.1 million in savings compared to the adopted budget. These savings are mainly attributable to the deferral of certain projects to 2026 and job vacancies within the organization during the year. 

Capital investments and debt

In 2025, $9,465,900 was invested in assets held by the Town, the majority of which related to infrastructure projects. These capital investments were lower than planned, as some work was postponed, thereby reducing the impact on the Town’s debt. 

As at December 31, 2025, long-term debt stood at $35.6 million. However, the infrastructure tax introduced in 2020 will cover the equivalent of $18 million of this debt, with the remainder funded through the general property tax. Rosemère’s debt level continues to be relatively stable and compares favourably with neighbouring municipalities, with a debt ratio 1.5 times lower than the average across the MRC de Thérèse-De Blainville.

Allocation of the surplus

Given the Town’s objective of maintaining a reasonable unrestricted surplus to provide for contingencies, $1,200,000 of the 2025 surplus has been directed toward Rosemère’s working capital fund so that the Town can self-finance more capital investment projects and thereby reduce annual debt servicing costs.
