The Municipality of Fundy Albert is pleased to announce that residents will see a zero percent municipal tax increase for the 2026 budget year. This represents a significant achievement in responsible financial stewardship, long-term planning, and Council’s commitment to supporting residents while maintaining municipal services.
The 2026 budget has been developed through a disciplined approach to expenditure management, strategic use of reserves, and targeted investments in core community infrastructure. Despite inflationary pressures, rising operational costs, and growing demands on municipal services, the Municipality has ensured that essential programs, protective services, transportation, recreation, and community amenities remain fully supported without requiring any increase to the local tax rate.
“This outcome reflects the responsible governance and fiscal prudence of our Council and staff,” said Mayor Jim Campbell. “We recognize the economic pressures facing families, seniors, and businesses. Delivering a budget with no tax increase ensures stability for our residents while allowing us to continue advancing key priorities for the community.”
The Municipality attributes this achievement to several key factors:
CAO Sean Wallace noted that maintaining a flat tax rate while sustaining critical municipal services required careful analysis and collaboration. “This budget reflects a balance of fiscal responsibility and community investment. We have ensured that Fundy Albert remains on a stable financial path while supporting the infrastructure and services residents rely on every day.”
Residents will continue to benefit from ongoing investments in roads, recreation infrastructure, community development, emergency readiness, and other core municipal services throughout 2026. The Municipality will also advance several strategic initiatives aimed at strengthening long-term sustainability and enhancing quality of life in all communities across Fundy Albert.
Council extends its appreciation to municipal staff, community partners, and residents who participated in the budget process through public engagement and dialogue.
Transparency and community input remain core pillars of the Municipality’s budgeting practices.
