Municipality of Centre Hastings

What Municipality of Centre Hastings does

The Municipality of Centre Hastings is a local government entity incorporated in 1998 and located in Madoc, Ontario, within Hastings County. It delivers statutory municipal services — fire protection, water and wastewater infrastructure, public works, parks and recreation, garbage and recycling, library services, animal services, planning and development approvals, building permits, cemetery operations (Lakeview Cemetery), and property tax administration — to residents and businesses operating within its boundaries. Governance rests with an elected council led by Mayor Tom Deline and Deputy Mayor Eric Sandford, with administrative leadership provided by Chief Administrative Officer/Clerk Typhany Choinard and Director of Finance/Deputy CAO Alexander Kelly.

Service delivery is multi-channel: in-person at the municipal office (7 Furnace Street, Madoc) and through physical facilities (fire hall, recreation centre, library, parks, Lakeview Cemetery), supplemented by digital platforms including Cloudpermit for building permits, Docupet for dog licensing, online complaint and service-request forms, and GIS-based mapping for planning. The underlying technology stack is administrative SaaS rather than proprietary IP; the Municipality does not own or develop its own software products.

Revenue is generated primarily from property taxation on residential and commercial properties within the municipal boundary, supplemented by user fees and service charges (e.g., $200 marriage licences, $904 cemetery plots, building permit fees, after-hours fees), water and wastewater utility rates, and grant/loan disbursements under the Community Improvement Plan (CIP) for downtown commercial revitalization. Its go-to-market motion is direct-to-citizen: there is no external sales channel, and service use is mandatory for all households and businesses within the catchment. Operations are confined to a single geographic market (Hastings County, Ontario) supported by 11–50 staff.
