General Property Tax Information

Property Tax pays for a wide variety of Municipal services including, but not limited to, the following:

• Emergency services such as Fire, Policing and Bylaw Services;
• Road maintenance including snow clearing and street sweeping;
• Recreational services and programs;
• Parks and green space maintenance; and
• Other community services and support.

The cost of delivering these services, at a level determined by Council, forms the basis of each year’s budget.
