Dorval reports $17.9-million 2025 operating surplus

Dorval reported a $17.9-million operating surplus for tax purposes in 2025, up $10.8 million from the previous year.

The city released the highlights of its audited financial report on September 22 after the document was tabled at the September 21 council meeting. Operating revenue rose to $171.3 million from $161.4 million in 2024, while operating expenses and reconciliation items totalled $153.3 million, compared with $154.4 million a year earlier.

Tax revenue increased 7% to $114.4 million. Dorval also recorded $16.2 million in capital investments: $7.2 million for roads and water and sewer systems, $4.9 million for buildings, parks and other infrastructure, and $4.1 million for equipment and vehicles.

The external auditor issued a qualified opinion related to the accounting standard for asset-retirement obligations. The city said its inventory of potentially contaminated land is still being completed, so the related obligation could not yet be determined. The qualification does not mean the $17.9-million surplus itself was rejected.
