The 2020 Budget for the Town of Paradise was tabled at the Public Council Meeting, December 3, 2019. The $37.9 million balanced budget focuses on making strategic investments in key initiatives while maintaining the Town’s current level of programs and services, all with no impact to residential or commercial mil rates.
For 2020, the residential and commercial mil rates will remain at 7.2 and 11.5, respectively, and there will be no change to the residential water and sewer rate of $600 per unit. For commercial water and sewer, the Town will move from a per unit rate to a mil rate structure. This is a common approach used by many municipalities across the province as it makes the water and sewer fee structure more equitable among all users. The Town of Paradise will implement a mil rate of 1.0 in 2020 for commercial water and sewer, which is among the lowest in the region.
