Revenues from Property Tax payments fund the Town's Operating and Capital Budget (to provide for Town services and investment in infrastructure).
Town Council by motion passed a resolution to increase residential and non residential property tax rates by 1% in the Regular Council Meeting of 23 January 2023.
Council sets the property tax rates and publishes these each year in the Taxation Rate Bylaw.
The current Taxation Rate Bylaw (05 / 2023) was passed by Council on 23 May 2023.
