Costs Get Tested and Trimmed Before They Land on Residents
Answer
Maple Ridge has one of the lowest residential property tax burdens in the region, sitting in the lowest third of municipalities in the Lower Mainland, and that's not an accident; it's a deliberate choice this team has made every budget cycle.
We delivered the lowest property tax increase of our entire four-year term, 3.5 percent, because we know affordability isn't a talking point for people in this city; it's the thing they're actually worried about. Keeping taxes down doesn't mean cutting corners. We held the line on affordability while still delivering more RCMP, more firefighters, and the infrastructure this city needs to keep up with its own growth.
