What have past tax increases been?

Since incorporation, tax increases have averaged just under 3%. Annual tax increases in past years have been as follows:

  • 2008: 5.00%
  • 2009: 2.00%
  • 2010: 2.35%
  • 2011: 2.24%
  • 2012: 3.00%
  • 2013: 2.95%
  • 2014: 2.95%

  • 2016: 3.00%
  • 2017: 3.00%
  • 2018: 2.18%

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, the city takes into consideration such factors as inflation, population and construction growth statistics, recommendations from master plans, assessments on infrastructure, requests for service and responses from the annual Citizens' Survey.
