TAX JURISDICTION: The Foundation for Prosperous and Vibrant Communities FIRST NATIONS WITH TAX JURISDICTION: MOVING BEYOND DEPENDENCY AND SETTING THEIR OWN PRIORITIES WITH THEIR OWN REVENUES. TAXATION IS A FUNDAMENTAL GOVERNMENT POWER: ENABLING REVENUE GENERATION WITHOUT RELIANCE ON OTHER GOVERNMENTS. PROPERTY TAX IS AN INDEPENDENT & STABLE SOURCE OF REVENUE: A KEY FINANCIAL PILLAR THAT SUPPORTS LOCAL GOVERNMENT. THE DIRECT IMPACT OF TAXATION: PAVED ROADS, STREET LIGHTS, FIRE PROTECTION, GOOD DRINKING WATER AND JOB CREATION.
