Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing's Inventory of Required Municipal Reports

Since 2018, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH) has led the government-wide municipal reporting burden initiative, which is designed to examine provincially required reports.

Ministries’ collaborative efforts and engagement both within the provincial government and with municipal associations, including the Association of Municipalities Ontario (AMO), the Association of Municipal Managers, Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario (AMCTO), Ontario Municipal Social Services Association (OMSSA), and the Municipal Finance Officers’ Association of Ontario (MFOA) produced dozens of report reductions. Results of these efforts were announced by Premier Ford at the 2019 AMO Conference. 

Most recently, MMAH has worked closely with ministry partners to update and validate changes made to the 2019 inventory with the goal of identifying further reporting reductions and producing a snapshot of municipal reporting requirements across government. The province is pleased to share the results of this work. To access the inventory, please click the link at the bottom of the page.

Note: The list provided by the Province, below, was completed and made available in January of 2022.  Timing of future updates is the responsibility of the Province and is unknown at this time.

Please note: the following municipal reporting inventory was created by MMAH and is being housed by MFOA. For any questions related to the inventory, please reach out to  municipalreportingburden@ontario.ca.
