Out of the total property taxes collected, the Town retains approximately $4,900,000 to provide services for Police and Fire Protection, Transportation services, Environmental Health services, Planning services and Parks and Recreation services. These taxes are the 'Municipal General Tax' portion printed on your annual tax notice.

- Provincial Government (School Taxes)
- Capital Regional District

The municipality has no control over the taxation rates for these agencies. The municipality pays these taxes to each agency even if property owners do not pay their annual property taxes.
