Kimberley city council has passed the first three readings to the proposed 2026 Tax Rates Bylaw, which includes a 3.23% municipal property tax increase.

The bylaw is scheduled to return to council for final adoption on April 27.

For the average home in Kimberley, assessed at $598,426, the proposed increase would result in an annual increase of about $177/year or $14.75/month.

The proposed increase helps support day-to-day city services, plan for long-term infrastructure needs, and contribute to major community projects and services. Every cent is being maximized to make Kimberley a safe, enjoyable, and affordable place to be.

Residents are encouraged to learn more, ask questions, and share feedback before adoption by visiting www.engagekimberley.ca.
