Your 2024 Tax Dollar

We have received some inquiries regarding how your tax dollars are spent. A breakdown of your 2024 tax dollar was included in the Tax/Summer 2024 Brockton Buzz Newsletter, and has been included in previous Tax Buzz Newsletters which are mailed with your interim Tax Bill. This image of the 2024 Tax Dollar is also available by clicking on the "Understanding Your Tax Bill (Where do your taxes go?)" button.

The 2024 budget contains $20.5 million in operating expenditures and $5.8 million in capital expenditures. After revenues and reserve fund transfers are applied, the Municipality must levy $12,531,038; a 6.41% tax rate increase over 2024. This levy increase will assist the Municipality in maintaining current levels of service while planning for the future, including the increasing demands on our roads infrastructure.

Through the direction of Council, tax dollars are put into action to serve residents and help our community prosper. Have you ever wondered how each tax dollar is spent? The image below shows the 2024 budget broken down into different functions. As you will see, there is a lot more to the budget than just roads and bridges.
