BATTLEFORD — The council of the Town of Battleford passed a recommendation from the administration at the Jan. 23 meeting that the chief administrative officer could start the lien process and approve the list of lands arrears of tax as presented.
According to documents from the Town of Battleford and their tax arrears list, the tax lien total amount as of Jan. 23, 2023, is $284,778.18.
Despite this, the town feels that taxes have been collected well for a town of the size of Battleford.
Community members who still need to pay last year's taxes are reminded to reach out to the town and that they are willing to accommodate ways to pay the outstanding money.
“In order to maintain this beautiful town and maintain the level of service we’re used to, everyone has to do their part and pay their taxes,” Councillor Pruden added.
Councillor George, attending the meeting virtually, reminded people that, “even though times are getting tough, we have to do our best to maintain our community, and the only way is to pay our taxes … please get your money in.”
