Property taxes (Municipal taxes) fund many essential services, like policing and fire services, street, sidewalk and sewer maintenance, snow removal and more. Property taxes also fund recreation programs, pay for our parks, trails, and events.
Each year, Council determines the property tax rate during the annual budget approval process. The tax rate is determined by how much money it takes to fund the programs and services provided by the Town (Capital and Operations budgets) divided by everyone's assessed value.
The Town calculates your property taxes from your assessed value and the municipal tax rate.
Council's process
Council is now starting the lengthy process to develop our 26/27 budget. Council will be considering the programs and services they want and need to provide as well as the resources required to do so.
Council has completed a strategic planning process and their strategic plan will also guide priorities set out in the Town's budget. Listening sessions have also provided perspective to Council as they work through their decision-making process.
Your input
For community members, this is a time to follow along. You can review the budget reports and documents, make suggestions and attend Council meeting in the weeks ahead.
Once Council has decided what programs and services they are offering, and once they are clear on how much this will cost, they set the budget and determine the tax rate.
