Pointe-des-Cascades municipal council has adopted a budget of $3,357,280 and a property tax rate increase of 2.25% for the year 2025. The presentation and adoption took place at a special council meeting held on Monday, February 3. 

For the coming year, the tax rate for a single-family residence has been set at $0.5256 per $100 of assessment. For buildings with six or more dwellings, the tax rate has been set at $0.5874/$100 of assessment. 

As for the various municipal rates - sewer, water, pool, garbage, recycling and residual materials - the municipal administration foresees no increase.

As in other municipalities, 84% of the Municipality's revenues will come from various taxes, including property tax, municipal service tax and debt servicing tax.

On the expenditure side, once again this year, the mandatory contributions of the Sûreté du Québec (SQ) and the Vaudreuil-Soulanges MRC have increased considerably. For the year 2025, the SQ's bill amounts to $187,365, a 20% increase over 2024. For the MRC, the increase is 4.3%, with a bill of $159,693.

The quota for debt servicing will be $1,809,000 for the coming year. 

In addition to these expenses, the Municipality plans to invest more than $820,000 in culture and recreation over the coming year, representing 23.34% of its total budget. In terms of general administration, an amount of $790,171 is planned. Next come environmental health ($740,176), public safety ($494,090), transportation ($417,417) and development and urban planning ($197,482). 

However, the Municipality will have to contend with a $22,500 deficit in funds set aside for elections. 

“We apply rigorous expenditure control to respect citizens' ability to pay. We want to continue investing in the village's quality of life, and support our seniors and children,” said Mayor Peter Zytynsky.

Three-year capital expenditure plan

Finally, the municipal council took advantage of the adoption of the budget to present and adopt its three-year capital expenditure plan (PTI) for 2025-2026-2027, which amounts to $10,036,000. Of this amount, $7,757,000 has been earmarked for projects in 2025. 

Among the projects planned are the completion of plans and specifications, the construction of the town hall in the existing presbytery, street repairs, the refurbishment of the small lighthouse and the development of the community center parking lot.
