County Council finalizes 2024 Budget

Apr 21, 2024 | 6:00 AM

County of Grande Prairie Council approved the 2024 budget during its meeting Thursday, April 18.

The budget includes a 2.9 per cent municipal tax rate increase that the county says aligns with public feedback that identified fire services and road conditions as important areas of focus.

The increase translates to approximately $58.69 annually on a residential property valued at $482,000.

The $223.5 million budget includes $107 million for general operation, $6.5 million for debt payments, and $110 million for capital investments.

A few of the services and program approved for 2024 include 63 per cent of the capital budget going towards road and bridge projects, $3 million in transfer to the provincial government for RCMP policing costs, and $483,140 to enhance the county’s fire response.
