The Town of Drayton Valley has announced the launch of its new Citizen Budget Platform.
Town officials say they know that residents are passionate about how their tax dollars are spent, and add, this new interactive tool will help the Town understand the priorities of its residents, and where they’d like to see their tax dollars spent.
The Citizen Budget tool aims to show residents how municipal taxes are spent as it relates to their own tax bill.
To view the online tool, and take the survey, visit draytonvalley2024.ethelo.net.
The survey will be available until Oct. 6, 2023 to gather community feedback.
Residents can enter their property assessment value into the platform to see how their tax bill is distributed to fund services in Drayton Valley. The interactive tool lets residents increase or decrease spending on various services and allows residents to determine what is important to them and set funding priorities. This budget tool is expected to help you understand how the budget process works and allows residents to see the immediate impact that changing funding has on the Town’s service levels.
Town officials say feedback collected on this platform will be reviewed and considered by council as they deliberate the 2024 Budget.
