Shaunavon Town Council has adopted the town's Consolidated and Capital Budget for 2019.

Tara Fritz is the Chief Administrative Officer for the Town of Shaunavon. She says, "We're looking at about $3,826,196 in Operating Expenditures, and $791,000 in Capital Expenditures. We're looking at a 9.0 Mill Rate representing 1.8 million dollars in net property tax levies."

She adds that this represents a 2% increase over last year, which means a minimal increase to residential and commercial property taxes this year.
