Pfäffikon's 2026 Budget: Increased Spending, Lower Surplus, Major Investments
Pfäffikon's municipal council has presented the 2026 budget, highlighting key changes and seeking approval from the community assembly. The budget shows an expenditure surplus and plans for increased spending in certain areas.
The 2026 budget totals 97.7 million Swiss francs in expenditures and 95.8 million in revenue, resulting in a surplus of 1,863,018 francs. The council requests the assembly to maintain the tax rate at 110 percent. Notably, school costs are expected to rise due to increased student numbers and additional classes. Meanwhile, care financing costs have decreased by 0.5 million francs compared to 2025. Very high maintenance and repair costs are planned for the real estate sector. The projected expenditure surplus is slightly lower than in 2025.
The budget allocates 12.0 million francs for investments in administrative assets. Only 27 percent of these investments can be financed from Pfäffikon's own funds, with the remainder coming from federal government financing managed through the federal budget, including net borrowings and special funds like the Climate and Transformation Fund.
The municipal council has approved the 2026 budget and will present it to the community assembly for approval. The budget reflects increased costs in certain areas, a slight decrease in the expenditure surplus, and significant investment plans, with most financing coming from federal government sources.
