Overall, the Region's proposed budget foresees gross expenditures of: · $409 million on Regional services · $111 million on Police services · $151.7 million on water and wastewater services · $515.7 million on capital projects, of which $143.7 million is tax supported In total, property taxes would pay for about $310 million of the above services and the water bill approximately $146 million. The majority of capital projects are covered by development charges and other sources of funding. A householder's property tax bill is not simply made up of Regional and Police services. A portion of the tax bill also covers services covered by the municipalities of Oakville, Burlington, Milton or Halton Hills. The final portion of the tax bill covers education taxes, set by the Ministry of Education in 2009.
