Brooks Council Passes Budget With Higher Property Taxes
Brooks residents will pay more in municipal property taxes next year due to a 3 percent mill rate increase. The province’s education tax cut of about 10 percent is expected to offset this, yielding a net six to seven percent decrease on average. The budget allocates funds for a 14th RCMP officer, water plant upgrades, a new fire hall, library funding, maintenance, tourism, beautification, litter control, and a 2 percent rise in recreation fees.
