Who does what
There is one taxpayer.

The scale of government
How much tax does each collect?
Annual tax revenue, divided by population and multiplied by 2.2 people per household. This puts the governments on a common scale; it is not your family's tax bill.
City and SRD: 2025 ยท B.C. and Canada: 2024/25 fiscal year
The household view multiplies the published per-resident figures by Campbell River's average household size of 2.2. It shows scale, not your personal tax bill.
Method: Statistics CanadaYou.
What each government pays for
Annual spending on the same household scale. Spending also draws on fees, transfers and other revenue, so it differs from the taxes above. Transfers between governments mean these columns should not be added together.

One envelope, several destinations
City Hall sends the bill. It keeps about 65%.
The City sends one notice, but the money follows two paths. In the City's 2025 representative example, 65% supports Campbell River services and utilities while 35% is collected for other public bodies.
This is the City's 2025 example. The Record uses a 2026 representative bill, where municipal taxes and charges make up about 67% of the total. The year and bill are different.
Three useful questions
Ask who decides, who pays and who delivers.
Find the government that can fix the problem. Then hold it accountable.
