Rates and Fees

2021 Final Tax Rates

The tax rates for city and regional purposes are determined as a result of City and Regional Council approval of their respective budgets. The tax rates for all classes of property are calculated as a "multiplier" of the residential tax rate (RT) based on the transition ratios approved by regional council. The Province establishes the tax rates for educational purposes.
