Abstract

This paper examines the relevance and significance of user fees in Ontario based on case studies that assess user fee policies in four municipalities in the Halton Region – Burlington, Halton Hills, Milton, and Oakville. The findings reveal that user fees have become a more prominent revenue source and they are an important component of a municipality’s revenue base.
