SECTION C: Service level expectations

SECTION D: Taxation and spending

Are you willing to pay more taxes to support increased spending on municipal services?

Yes

I'm undecided

SECTION E: Infrastructure investment

The municipality is facing significant infrastructure needs, including upgrades to roads, sidewalks, facilities, and other essential assets.

To address these needs, the municipality is considering increasing taxes.

Please note that the tax increase scenarios in the following question are based on a single-family home assessed at $3.67 million.

A 1% tax increase would result in an additional $61 in taxes per year.
A 2% tax increase would result in an additional $122 in taxes per year.

Would you support an Asset Levy increase to invest in the maintenance and upgrade of West Vancouver's infrastructure assets, such as roads, sidewalks, and facilities?

1% tax increase: I support a 1% tax increase to the Asset Levy to invest in infrastructure.

2% tax increase: I support a 2% tax increase to the Asset Levy to invest in infrastructure.

Neither: I do not support a tax increase to invest in infrastructure.

Undecided: I need more information before making a decision.
