Major changes in Alberta property tax plan announced
The Alberta government announced four major changes to its property tax reduction plan and the creation of a provincial municipal finance council. The changes lower the school foundation fund mill rate to 28 mills, raise senior relief to 200 from 150, phase in new requisition levels over three years for reassessed municipalities, and boost provincial aid to some towns to meet 1972 levels. The moves, costing about 14.38 million this year, aim for equitable benefits and rely on improved petroleum revenues. Municipalities under reassessment totaling about 50 will need higher requisitions, with phased funding totaling roughly 4.41 million this year. Summer villages will also receive incentive funds.
