ASSESSMENTS AND TAX RATES

Since 1998, property assessment in Ontario has been based on estimates of current
market value.  The estimates are the responsibility of a provincial agency, the Municipal
Property Assessment Corporation (www.mpac.ca) .  Three tax levies are based on these assessments,
namely those for the municipality, for the County, and for education services.  The
Township bills two further charges at the same time as the municipal tax levy, namely
water charges (only on those who are or could be connected to municipal water systems)
and garbage collection charges.  The relevant data, and data for previous years
as well, can be found at

LONG BUDGETS

A detailed, line-item record of transactions in the Township's general fund is published every
year after the Budget has been approved.  A summary of this information, showing both budgeted
figures and after-the-fact actual revenues and expenditures, including all transfers to and from
reserves and Reserve Funds, is provided at

RESERVES AND RESERVE FUNDS

Tiny Township sets aside various reserves and Reserve Funds for different purposes.  The former
are simply notionally set aside within the Township's general fund; the latter are separate from the
general funds and have their own bank accounts.  Data on the transactions affecting the reserves
and Reserve Funds, and on their year-end values from year-end 1999 to the present, is provided at
