Financial Information

The District of West Vancouver has adopted a Long Term Financial Plan (LTFP), for resiliency, to provide high levels of services and to manage its assets in the best possible way. 2018 marks the third year of addressing asset maintenance through an asset levy. This is critical if we are to maintain our infrastructure, which includes everything from transportation infrastructure to parks to IT infrastructure to community centres to water and sewer lines.

Budget

Like any business or household, each year the municipality is challenged with increased costs. The cost of providing services must be balanced with a tax increase the community can afford at any one time.
