Most reports are backward looking financial documents. Forward looking information is included in the Five Year Financial Plan which is required to be prepared annually under the Community Charter. The Property Tax rates are set based on the need identified in the Five Year Financial Plan, passed by Bylaw each year by City Council. The Property Tax Bylaw must be passed by May 15th of each year, so that municipalities can issue property tax notices.
