Third and final reading passed Monday night at North Battleford council on three bylaws related to residents' property tax bills.
The bylaws to establish mill rate factors, to authorize the levying of the tax rates and to establish the minimum and base taxes and for the Underground Parks and Roads levy, passed at the end of the meeting.
All three bylaws had previously gone through two readings at council. Third reading passed unanimously for the first two bylaws, but the UPAR bylaw was not unanimous, with Councillor Ryan Bater voting no.
Passage of the bylaws clears the way now for the next step: property taxes.
"We had to get these done to get the tax notices out," said City Manager Jim Puffalt.
He expects by the end of May all the tax notices should be sent out to residents.
