Taxes (property and business) are paid by all property and business owners to help pay the cost of Municipal services and infrastructure, such as roads, parks, policing and protective services, and other services..
User fees
User fees are paid by those who use and benefit privately from certain Municipal goods and services.
Please review the new User Fee Bylaw to understand the 2019 rates.

QUICK LINKS:
** UPDATE ** The docks have now been installed and are ready for use.
High water levels in the municipality have made it a challenge to install the floating docks at Mag’s Landing.
The docks are scheduled to be installed late next week, but this will depend on whether water levels drop enough to reach the installation brackets.
The Parks and Recreation Department is advising the boat launch may be utilized at the owner’s risk, but is recommending that boats be launched at Booster Park for the time being.
If you are not familiar with the area, Booster Park is located West of the village of Marmora off Highway 7 on Booster Park Road.
For more information about area boat launches, contact the Marmora Tourist Information Centre at 613-472-1515.
Exercise your green thumb!
The Municipality has 12 garden boxes, each 4 feet x 10 feet, ready for public use. Rent one plot for $10 for the whole season! The plots are located in the parking lot east of the lights behind the post office and Mr. Convenience.
We have four plots left so reserve yours asap!
