Budget 2025 

Rocky View County’s Proposed 2025 budget process is more transparent and accessible than ever, with information divided into clear, easy-to-navigate sections. 

This year, the proposed 2025 budget is divided into multiple documents to make finding specific information easier and provide a clearer view of how resources are allocated. In addition to the proposed base budget, residents now have access to a comprehensive list of County services, proposed improvements, and new initiatives. 

Budget Overview 

The proposed 2025 Operating and Capital Base Budget, prepared by County Administration, is designed to enhance essential services, preserve Rocky View’s rural character, and ensure long-term financial stability, all while maintaining competitive tax rates. The budget reflects the shared priorities of Council and residents, determined through ongoing public engagement. 

Council will review the proposed 2025 Operating and Capital Base Budget starting November 27, 2024. After a thorough evaluation and any necessary amendments, Council approves the upcoming year’s Operating and Capital Base Budget. This page will be updated with the approved 2025 Operating and Capital Base Budget once that occurs.
