Budget 2026

Rocky View County Council has approved the 2026 Budget, which reflects an updated multi-year planning approach and invests in transportation, fire services, utilities, and community infrastructure to support safe and well serviced communities.

This year marks a shift in the County’s budgeting process, reflecting work completed under new financial policies and the Capital Planning Committee. These changes improved how major infrastructure priorities are reviewed and helped the County plan for multiple years at a time. Final tax rate decisions will be confirmed in spring 2026, once the full costs of multi-year capital projects are finalized.

The updated Budget 2026 documents will be posted here soon. Additional information is available here.

Strategic Plan

County Council has a Strategic Plan, created in consultation with Administration, stakeholders and the community to guide the County into the future. The foundation of Council’s Strategic plan rests on four Strategic Themes: 

  • Effective Service Delivery
  • Financial Prosperity
  • Thoughtful Growth
  • The Rocky View Lifestyle  

Those themes are the broad areas that guide the County towards achieving the Mission and Vision. Council has further articulated eleven Strategic Objectives and a number of key performance indicators, that provide Administration direction on where it should focus its effort. Values are what motivate our actions. As a County, we have three values that reinforce how we do our work:

  • Integrity,
  • Leadership
  • Accountability.

The 2024 End of Year Report highlights the successes and areas for growth to advance Council's Strategic Plan objectives. Planning has achieved significant advancements in handling increased volumes across the department. Furthermore, the Planning department has collected over 200 responses from applicants in 2024 to produce a Customer Survey Summary Report. Along with planning policy and technical considerations, the survey feedback is a key input into the refinement of Planning department. Building on these results, the 2025 Planning Roadmap provides a forward-looking perspective into continuing this strategic direction.
