Budget and Financial Reporting

Municipal Budget

Each fiscal year, County Council provides general budget direction to administration. This direction sets the desired service levels and desired tax rates. Council approves an interim budget in December for the subsequent year, with final budget approval happening in April.

Parkland County residents and business owners were surveyed in August 2022 on how budget dollars are prioritized within the County and the results were presented to Council. The results of the survey will be used to understand community priorities when it comes to allocating tax dollars in future budgets.

2023 Budget

Council approved the 2023 Budget on April 11, 2023.
