The budget provides the foundation for delivery of services and achievement of Council’s Strategic Priorities. Through the annual preparation of a municipal budget, Council demonstrates a commitment to ensuring High River continues to be a vibrant community with high-quality services, programs and infrastructure.
Once approved, Town of High River's Council will set municipal tax rates to generate the revenue needed to offset municipal service expenditures with the annual Property Tax Rate Bylaw which is passed each spring.
