These include, but are not limited to: water and sewer maintenance, snow clearing, street lighting, recreation facility maintenance, fire protection, road maintenance, garbage collection and administration (i.e. external auditor, legal council, insurance). We calculate the Municipal Tax for your property and business based on the property’s assessed value and a council-approved mill rate. Water/Sewer tax is calculated on a per unit basis.
