Summary
On April 13, 2021 Council approved a revised budget which resulted in a net municipal tax levy requirement of $63,032,400. This levy as well as the required tax levies for the TransAlta Tri Leisure Centre, Edmonton Metropolitan Region Board, Designated Industrial Property, Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Senior's Foundations and the Education requisitions result in a total tax levy requirement of $95,121,350 (Attachment 2). It is important to note that the municipality has no control over education taxes. The municipality is only responsible for levying them.
