Municipal plans

Ontario municipalities publish asset management plans under Ontario Regulation 588/17. Many state how long they expect each type of asset to last. This index collects those plans so their assumptions can be compared and cited, page by page.

No values from these plans are published yet. Extraction runs on the pilot plans first, and every extracted row is checked against its page by an editor before it appears here.

Capital asset policies

Large municipalities' plans give lives by asset segment ("building, 50 years"), not by component. Their tangible capital asset policies often do break buildings down: HVAC, roofing, elevators, electrical. These are accounting lives used for amortization, so they are recorded as such and never mixed with observed lives.

• 24policies with building component lives
• 20distinct life tables
• 15independent lineages

Policies copy each other. Four Hastings County townships use one range table, which appears to be a US school-district list (its rows include “Classroom and office furniture” and “Buses”) with each value widened into a range. Greater Madawaska’s 2025 policy repeats Quinte West’s 2024 lives. Policies that share a table are cited as one source, so 24 policies count as about 15 independent sources.

Where municipalities share a form but set their own numbers, they genuinely disagree. Within Grey County, building structure ranges from 40 to 100 years and sprinkler systems from 25 to 40.

Each policy’s lineage field in the policies JSON records which table it shares.

All Ontario municipalities

444 municipalities: 173 single-tier, 241 lower-tier and 30 upper-tier (counties, regions and the District of Muskoka). Upper-tier populations are the sum of their lower tiers.
