Finance Department
It gives me great pleasure to present the Finance Department of the Ville de Mont-Tremblant. It consists of three functional areas.
The first involves administering and controlling the financial resources of the Ville de Mont-Tremblant, in a transparent manner. The second is specially related to the services provided to citizens in regard to all financial questions having to do with the Ville. Finally, the third is to offer the necessary support to the other municipal departments to contribute to the mission of the Ville.
In addition, the Finance Department is responsible for taxation, for the collection of taxes, accounts payable, accounting and information services (computers).
Taxation and tax collection
The Department is responsible for taxation and the collection of revenues for the Ville. We deal with all requests for information in this regard. In addition we monitor the follow-up of the three-year assessment roll set by the MRC des Laurentides.
Our department also ensures that the assessment roll can be accessed on the Ville website by professionals, real estate agents and banking institutions.
Pay, budget and accounting
Closely linked to all the other Ville departments, our department sees to the preparation and control of operating and building budgets, the preparation of financial statements, staff remuneration, payment of suppliers, management of loan payments, of investments and debt service.
Computer services
The management of computer services and technology also falls under the aegis of the Finance Department. The division counsels and assists departments on the acquisition of hardware and software, manages the Internet telephony service and voicemail service for all departments, and manages the office equipment (photocopiers, fax machines, etc.).
In addition, we are very proud of having achieved, in 2004, the fibre optic connection of the various points of municipal service, as well as having established Internet telephony.
