How are my property tax dollars allocated?

For residential property taxes:

• 76.8% of your municipal property taxes go to the Town of Ponoka;
• 22.5% to the Alberta Government for education taxes. The province distributes the dollars to the public and separate school boards on a per student basis; and
• 0.7% goes to Seniors Housing (which the Town is required to collect on behalf of Rimoka Housing Foundation).

For commercial property taxes:

• 74.3% of your municipal property taxes go to the Town of Ponoka;
• 25.2% to the Alberta Government for education taxes. The province distributes the dollars to the public and separate school boards on a per student basis; and
• 0.5% goes to Seniors Housing (which the Town is required to collect on behalf of Rimoka Housing Foundation).
