flag Alberta to let municipalities add federal RCMP costs to property tax bills for transparency.

flag Alberta plans to introduce legislation allowing municipalities to include the cost of federal RCMP policing on property tax bills, increasing transparency for residents. flag Announced by Municipal Affairs Minister Dan Williams on March 18, 2026, the move responds to longstanding requests from local leaders. flag The bill, expected from Public Safety Minister Mike Ellis later this spring, would require disclosure of federal policing costs on tax notices, similar to how provincial education taxes are displayed. flag Critics, including opposition leader Naheed Nenshi, argue the change could mislead residents, noting most tax dollars go into general revenue. flag The province continues expanding the Alberta Sheriffs Service as an alternative to the RCMP, with the current federal contract set to expire in 2032.
