Where your taxes go
Your municipal property taxes help fund:
- Essential services such as police, fire fighting and emergency rescue.
- Recreation and community centres, libraries, parks and more.
- Services and support programs to build stronger communities.
The City of Courtenay receives approximately half of your tax payments. The remainder goes to other taxing authorities, including:
- Comox Valley Regional District
- School District 71
- Regional hospital and health services
- BC Assessment
- Vancouver Island Regional Library
- Municipal Finance Authority
The City does not control these additional charges.
