How do Regional District Finances Work?

FVRD's annual budget covers a lot of areas as we provide approximately 120 services to over 324,000 residents. Services are provided on a regional, sub-regional or local basis.

• Regional Services are provided to all municipalities and electoral areas for instance parks & outdoor recreation, air quality, and solid waste management.
• Sub-regional services involve two or more jurisdictions such as animal control services, Hope & Area Recreation Centre, and the invasive weeds program.
• Local services are provided to electoral areas only including garbage and recycling facilities, fire protection services, planning & development services, and bylaw enforcement services.

Each service we provide must have its own budget and money cannot be transferred between budgets. Check out our FAQs in the sidebar to learn more about Regional District finances and how taxes are calculated and collected.
