Summary
Calgary’s facing a potential 20.2% property tax hike in 2027 to fund city departments, but early numbers show a tight budget squeeze—just a 5.4% increase may be needed to keep services running. Council is wrestling with over 100 funding requests, forcing tough choices on transit, fire, and police. After closed-door talks, a revised 15% hike for 2027—with smaller increases later—is being floated, while some councilors push for deep spending cuts. The final budget will be unveiled in November, setting the stage for a heated public debate. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
