Capital Asset Sustainability LevyRichmond Hill is responsible for the repair and maintenance of municipal roads, facilities, watermains and other capital infrastructure. As the City continues to grow, additional funds and resources are required every year to sustain existing infrastructure and maintain service levels.

The Capital Asset Sustainability Levy is included in the City Levy portion of the property tax bill and applied based on the assessed value of the property. This portion of the City levy allows Richmond Hill to adequately manage, prioritize and budget for capital programs as needed. It increased by 1% in the 2021 budget.
