205. The expenses of a regional county municipality for the purposes of the exercise of a power provided for in the first paragraph of section 188 shall be apportioned among the municipalities whose territories form part of that of the regional county municipality, proportionately to the valuation of the taxable immoveables entered on the assessment rolls of these municipalities.
To determine the assessment of the taxable immoveables of a municipality, for the purposes of this section, the values entered on the assessment roll of that municipality are multiplied by the factor established for that roll by the Minister under the Act respecting municipal taxation. Furthermore, the second paragraph of subarticle 6 of article 423 of the Municipal Code applies, mutatismutandis, to this section.
However, the expenses may be apportioned according to any other criterion determined by the council of the regional county municipality, by by-law.
Notwithstanding the first three paragraphs, where the regional county municipality exercises, by the application of section 170 or 189 or otherwise, a jurisdiction provided for by another general law or special act, the expenses incurred in the exercise of that jurisdiction are apportioned in accordance with the rules provided by or under that other law or act. For the purposes of paying its share resulting from this apportionment, a municipality has the powers provided for by the law to collect the necessary sums, as if it exercised the jurisdiction itself.
