Finance
All local governments in B.C. operate within a legislative framework that governs their administration and finances including financial planning, reporting, revenues (taxes and fees), liabilities, capital financing, development financing, and property acquisition and disposition.
Local government provides essential basic services such as clean water, sewage, garbage collection, street lighting, libraries, recreational facilities, parks, local roads, and planning for the future economic growth of the community.
Local government staff administers the services, regulation and land management that Council decides to undertake. They also maintain relationships with other governments and agencies.
Local governments have the ability raise funds to provide and maintain these services and amenities within the community through:
- Property taxes
- Grants from other levels of government
- User fees and charges
- Partnerships
