Comments sought on Five Year Financial Plan
Information package available now at City Hall or on city website.
On Tuesday, February 23, the City of Cranbrook released the proposed 2016 – 2020 Five Year Financial Plan Information Package.
Council is inviting the public to review the Information Package and submit their written comments, by Monday, March 7 at 4 p.m. The written comments received by the deadline, will be considered by Council at a Special Meeting on Thursday, March 10.
The Tax Levy is the amount of property tax revenue the city must raise to provide services to the level prescribed by council. This amount is calculated after taking into account all other sources of revenue – including sale of services, user fees, and grants.
The 2016 Tax Levy Increase is 2.59%, with the Road Dedicated Tax one per cent and General municipal levy 1.59%.
Property value assessments are prepared by BC Assessment and are mailed to homeowners in January. In 2016, the average assessed value for a residential property in Cranbrook is $269,000.
The projected municipal taxes for an average home will be approximately $2,057, or $5.64 per day for all municipal services before the Provincial Home Owner Grant.

2016 – $15,616,260
2017 – $18,733,405
2018 – $17,816,038
2019 – $9,932,505
2020 – $ 41,473,831

The 2016 budget includes $4,072,280 for the capital roads program and 2017 through 2020 will see another $28,675,779 in capital roads projects (pending approval to borrow $10,000,000 in 2017).
