The city is now made of 19 boroughs and continues to offer services throughout the island of Montréal, including throughout the 15 reconstituted cities.
Fifteen (15) Reconstituted Cities
All taxpayers on the island of Montréal, no matter which reconstituted city or borough they live in, pay a common tax for shared services that are under the authority of the agglomeration council.
The agglomeration council, a new political body made up of elected officials from Montréal and the 15 reconstituted cities, oversees shared services for the entire population of the island of Montréal, such as the police, the fire department, production of drinking water, wastewater treatment, road system management and the municipal court.
