Calgary city council is being asked by administration to approve a bigger tax hike than previously agreed to for the city to keep pace with a rapidly growing population.

The average property will therefore see a 4.5 per cent increase to property taxes — nearly one percentage point more than what council had previously approved for the coming year, layered on top of higher water, waste and recycling rates.

“It’s simply not possible to absorb as many new Calgarians as we have during a time of significant inflation without either having costs increase or services decline.”
