According to the Times Chronicle, the municipal budget process for Oliver begins in August, while Osoyoos starts later in the Fall. The primary focus of these budgets is on utility services such as water and sewer, with a deadline of December 31.

The Five-Year Financial Plan plays a crucial role in funding projects over a period of five years. Public consultations are conducted through various means, including Special Open Meetings, Coffee With Council sessions, and feedback periods.

Tax rates for Osoyoos are finalized in April, based on property assessments completed by March 31. The Resort Municipality Initiative (RMI) budget for Osoyoos has a three-year plan already in place.
