Improvement districts are local authorities that provide specific services to landowners who have requested and pay for those services. Improvement districts vary in size from small subdivisions to larger communities and are generally located in rural areas of B.C.
Improvement Districts History & Powers
Improvement districts are incorporated public local bodies governed by a board of elected trustees. Improvement districts provide services such as water and fire protection services (also known as “objects”) for the benefit of landowners within their boundary.
Improvement districts are not the same as municipalities or regional districts, as improvement districts may only provide the services authorized in their letters patent.
