Collecting residential and non-residential property taxes is one of the various ways the City of Medicine Hat funds municipal services.
Your property taxes fund services like:
Each year, City Council approves the total amount of money required to support City services. Other sources of revenue including license fees, user fees and provincial grants, are subtracted from this amount. The remaining balance is the amount the City must collect through property taxes.
