Developing Your Municipal Budget
The Administration team utilizes the Budget Workbook to propose an annual financial plan for review by the Council and the public. To provide a comparative analysis, the proposed figures are presented alongside the previous year’s approved budget. The Municipal Council then engages in discussion and has the opportunity to suggest revisions based on priorities and objectives. This budget development process aligns with the Municipality’s commitment to collective financial accountability.
Upon approval of the final Budget, the Administration and Operation teams can proceed with efficient service delivery and asset management. These teams prioritize effective human resources management and collaborate closely with service partners in the district to ensure optimal community service.
The Municipality’s objective is to uphold service standards while delivering value to residents and ratepayers.
Understanding Tax Ratios and Tax Rates
Property Assessment System
- All properties undergo assessment based on current market value, with a 4-year gradual phase-in of assessment increases.
- The assessment process is carried out by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC).
- There are 8 standard classes of property, with additional sub classes and optional classes available.
Property tax is calculated as a levy determined by the assessed value of a property, with rates for the municipal portion of the tax established by the Municipality.
- Different tax rates apply to different classes of property.
- The distinction between these tax rates represents the tax ratio.
- The tax ratio represents the comparison between the tax rate of a specific property class and the tax rate applied to residential properties.
- Tax ratios are set on an annual basis by Council, with limitations set by the province.
Setting Tax Rates
The residential tax rate is determined by dividing the levy by the weighted assessment.
The weighted assessment is calculated by multiplying the assessment of each property class by the respective tax ratios for each class.
