Morinville Budget 2026 Engagement Survey
Thank you for participating in Morinville’s 2026 Budget Survey. Your feedback is a vital part of our commitment to transparent, community-driven governance.
This survey is designed to gather your input on how well municipal services are working today and how you’d like to see Morinville invest in them going forward. By asking both about satisfaction and future priorities, we aim to gain a deeper understanding of what matters most to residents as we plan the 2026 municipal budget.
You can jump to complete the survey by clicking here, or, to help provide more context as you complete the survey, you can review the following key facts about how municipal budgeting and property taxes work.
Did you know?
Inflation continues to affect the cost of delivering municipal services, from roads and utilities to recreation and emergency response. Small, regular tax increases help ensure we can maintain service levels and invest in critical infrastructure.
Your property tax bill has two main taxes: A tax set by municipal government and Council, and a tax set by the Government of Alberta.
Local government and Council have no control over the provincial property tax but are required to collect the tax and then transfer it to the Government of Alberta for their use.
The Government of Alberta decides how much money it wants to collect from property taxes to help cover the costs of Alberta’s K-12 schools.
Municipalities in Alberta are required to balance their budgets each year. Unlike federal or provincial governments, a municipality can’t run a deficit—so every new cost must be funded through taxes, grants or user fees.
Morinville is working to address an infrastructure deficit that has built up over time. Without gradual and consistent investment, future residents could face steeper tax increases or reduced services.
Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) is a partnership between the Province of Alberta and municipalities like Morinville that focuses on enhancing the well-being of individuals, families, and communities through prevention-focused programs. In Morinville, FCSS helps plan and deliver a wide range of community events and supports—like Senior's Week, International Women's Day, the Eat Well Program and Dignity Hampers to name just a few.
Where do your property tax dollars go?
