What's new

West Kelowna Council adopted the 2022 Budget and Five-Year Financial Plan Bylaw setting the tax increase at 4.0 per cent at its regular meeting on April 5, 2022. This year’s budget balances the continuation of services while addressing the financial considerations of a growing city.

The 2022 municipal budget includes a 2.4 per cent increase reflecting investments in police services and a one per cent Infrastructure Levy.

Deadline to pay taxes
Property tax notices are mailed at the end of May or the beginning of June. Payments are due July 4, 2022 by 4:30 p.m.

What things are considered when establishing tax levels?

Staff and Council know that tax dollars are limited, despite a multitude of service, program and infrastructure requests. Mayor and Council and many city staff are tax paying residents too.

To ensure wise spending, Council establishes Strategic Priorities which set goals for the municipality. The budget process also takes into consideration such factors as affordability, assessment values, inflation, population and construction growth, recommendations from master plans, asset management and requests for services.
