About this statute

The Minister may start public notice for a proposed municipal corporation, and the notice must be in the proposed municipality’s area. This part sets rules for creating and changing municipalities, and for council procedure, meetings, records, and member duties. This part gives municipalities powers over employees, property, contracts, services, and bylaws, and lets council impose a tourist accommodation tax by bylaw. The provision caps a tourist accommodation tax at 4% of the daily accommodation rate, lists exclusions, and lets a municipal corporation use, report on, and arrange collection/enforcement of the tax. Municipal budgets must include specified estimates, and municipal finances have rules for public access, deficits, deposits, disbursements, funds, and borrowing.
