April 15, 2025 – Strathmore, AB – Property owners in Strathmore will see a significant increase in their property tax bills this year due to a sharp rise in the provincial education property tax requisition, announced in Alberta’s 2025 budget.

The budget, released by Finance Minister Nate Horner on February 27, increases Strathmore’s total school tax requisition by 22 per cent, from $5,953,657 million in 2024 to $7,251,997 million in 2025. The unexpected jump places additional financial strain on both residential and commercial property owners in the community.

In tough economic times, making smart financial choices is essential—in households, businesses, and at every level of government. Inflation is driving up costs, oil and gas revenues are projected to decline, and looming U.S. tariffs continue to threaten economic stability. Strathmore residents are adjusting, stretching their budgets further, and making careful decisions about where every dollar goes.  

Across the country, Canadians are experiencing a renewed sense of pride – in our country and the places we call home. Whether it’s our resilience through tough times, our commitment to one another or our shared belief that hard work creates opportunity, we are reminded of what makes Canada a special place. We protect what we’ve built, and we welcome those who share our values and want to contribute to our future.
