Affordability and taxes

Property taxes and user fees are the main levers council controls, and every service promise eventually meets them. A useful way to test any affordability claim is to ask what it costs, who pays, and what would be cut or deferred to pay for it.

What Brampton City Hall can influence
  • Property tax rates and the City budget
  • User fees for recreation, permits, parking, and other City services
  • How capital projects are phased and funded
What usually sits elsewhere

  • The education portion of property tax. Confirm details with the Province.

Questions residents can reuse

Reusable as written. They do not favor a candidate, and they work in an email, at a door, or at an all-candidates meeting.

  1. What tax increase, if any, do you consider reasonable over the next term, and what does it buy?
  2. If you promise to hold taxes down, which services or projects would you slow or cut?
  3. Which user fees do you think are set correctly, and which are not?
  4. How should council communicate budget tradeoffs to residents in plain language?
