Montreal KitMontreal CitiesAgglomeration Council
In 2004, fifteen of the previously independent Montreal cities on the island of Montreal voted to de-merg from the megacity to become reconstituted municipalities. As a result, the Agglomeration Council came into existence on January 1, 2006. The Agglo Council oversees shared services for the entire population of the island of Montréal now composed of 19 boroughs and 15 cities. The Council is headed by the mayor of Montréal accompanied by 31 elected officials representing all the boroughs and cities of the island of Montréal. Specifically, the mayor of Montréal, 15 members of the Montréal’s city council, 14 mayors of reconstituted municipalities (one for L'Île-Dorval and Dorval) and 1 additional representative from Dollard-Des-Ormeaux form the Agglomeration Council. A Common TaxAll taxpayers on the island of Montréal, no matter which city or borough they live in, pay a common tax for shared services that are under the authority of the Agglomeration Council. The Agglo Council oversees shared services for the entire population of the island of Montréal. It provides services such as property assessment, public safety services, municipal court, social housing, help for the homeless, waste management, water supply and sewage treatment, public transit, management of streets and major thoroughfares, economic promotion and nature parks. Reconstituted cities offer local services within their city limits. Each City Council is in charge of offering services to its residents. Taxpayers in the 15 cities receive a separate tax bill for their part of shared agglomeration services.
