Fees & Charges

Updated: Jan 15, 2025

Certain municipal services carry fees and charges. These fees are set by council in the annual Fees and Charges By-law. Most municipal services are subsidized from property taxes. User fee increases allow the Municipality to reduce the impact on the tax rate while continuing to provide high levels of service to our customers.
