Budget and Finance

The Town develops an annual operating budget to pay for a wide range of municipal services including corporate, fire and emergency services, roads and parks maintenance, planning services.  The Town also prepares multi-year capital budgets which fund capital infrastructure replacement and renewal, and other capital priorities as determined by Town Council. The annual budget determines the revenues required from property taxation which are then used to set final tax rates.
