Back to SearchThe City of Prince Albert hereby gives notice, pursuant to Section 102 of The Cities Act and the City’s Public Notice Bylaw No. 24 of 2015, of its intention to allocate the surplus revenue generated from the 2023 Roadways Special Tax.
A municipality may pass a special tax bylaw and Subsection 278(1) of the Cities Act provides that the use of the revenue raised by a special tax must be used for that specific service or purpose stated in the bylaw.

This requirement in subsection 278(2) will allow for transparency between the City and residents as to what their tax dollars are being used for.
Reason for Notice: The City will consider allocating the 2023 surplus from the Roadways Special Tax to fund costs in 2024 for roadway work, concrete sidewalk, curb and median rehabilitation program.
Particulars of the bylaw will be considered at the following City Council meeting:
