The 2026 budget incorporated significant increases to Provincial requisitions including Education, Seniors Housing and RCMP (Policing). Inflationary pressures were evident in the budgeted amounts. Market growth within the County helped offset the increased costs, thereby facilitating the mill rates below. Tax changes for individual properties will depend on the change to the assessed value of the property.
