2026 Budget Planning
Overview
Welcome to the RDCK’s 2026-2030 Financial Planning public engagement site. The goal of this page is to provide context and transparency as the RDCK goes through the budget process. The RDCK is in the process of preparing the draft (provisional) 2026 budget. The intent is to update this page on a regular basis as more information becomes available.
The RDCK provides a broad range of services to its residents. Services are categorized based on the areas that benefit. For example, regional services apply to all RDCK residents, sub-regional services apply to a portion of RDCK residents, and local services are provided for electoral area residents.
In regional districts, residents pay only for the services they receive. This means no single taxpayer in a regional district will be taxed in the exact same way because taxes are calculated on the specific services required. A unique aspect of regional districts is that unlike municipalities, money collected for one service cannot be transferred to another service area budget. It is crucial the RDCK takes the time to appropriately plan for each and every budget on its own merit.
