The Rural Municipality of Ste. Anne in Manitoba has officially adopted its 2026 financial plan, setting the municipal budget for the year. Residents can view the full financial plan and tax levy by-law online, which was finalized by the municipal council on April 8, 2026.
To help manage the rising cost of living, council kept the municipal tax increase below 4 percent. Reeve Richard Pelletier estimates this change will result in an additional $30 to $50 annually for the average household, though final tax bills will vary depending on property assessments and school division rates.
The 2026 budget includes significant infrastructure investments, such as the acquisition of a building located at 35032 PR 210 for approximately $1.45 million. The municipality funded this purchase using reserves and grant money rather than taking on new debt. Overall, the financial plan relies on reserve funds for just over 36 percent of its total revenue to support these one-time investments.
Property owners should note that 2026 taxes are due by 4:30 p.m. on October 15, 2026. Payments made after November 1, 2026, will be subject to a 1 percent monthly penalty. Additionally, residents within the Local Urban District of Richer will see a special service levy of $86.32 applied to each dwelling unit and non-residential parcel to cover weekly curbside garbage collection costs.
The total rateable assessed property value within the municipality currently stands at $497,064,370. Residents with specific questions regarding their individual tax statements can contact the municipal office for more information.
