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. 

An Asset Levy was established in 2016 to address asset maintenance. 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. 

Also, in 2022, an Environmental Levy was established to fund climate change mitigation and adaptation measures. The levy will help fund programs to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and also to prepare for the impacts that climate change will bring to the District.
