City of Grande Prairie city council has officially approved the 2.28 increase in property taxes for the coming year. The rate increase will translate into an average annual bump of around $152, but will vary from property to property depending on how each individual property’s assessment changed.
City officials say a good portion of the need for an increase of this size is tied into the demands of the provincial government, which expanded its education requisition for the entire province from $2.74 billion to $3.12 billion. That represents approximately a 9 per cent increase for the municipality, from $30.1 million to $32.8 million
increasing from $30.1 million to $32.8 million, representing an approximate 9% increase.
The increase was approved as part of the 2025 Operating and Capital budget deliberated and approved last fall.
