Breda presents a balanced budget of over € 900 million. Thanks to the firm choices made last year, the city is financially stable. In this final budget of the governing period, the college opts for realism, phasing, and targeted investments in a future-proof city. In the development of t Zoet, Breda takes the step from thinking to doing.

One of the most important and ambitious investments is the development of the new district t Zoet. This area, which will be one and a half times larger than the current city center, is a driving force behind the urban renewal of Breda. Approximately 6,000 homes will be built here, along with space for culture, climate adaptation, and an innovation district. Breda is putting extra effort into placemaking, strengthening the innovative ecosystem, and creating an attractive living environment. t Zoet will be a vibrant and progressive place where living, working, learning, and relaxing come together. This district strongly contributes to positioning Breda as a green, borderless, and hospitable city.

Smart Choices

Breda is doing everything it can to keep costs for residents as low as possible. For instance, the property tax remains the same and parking fees will not increase. Through smart choices and efficient working, the municipality keeps the burden on residents as manageable as possible.
