2018-19 Operating Budget Press Release

Published: Friday, 06 April 2018 16:09

Shelburne, NS – The Shelburne Town Council approved an operating budget totaling $5.03 million on April
4th, 2018. The approved residential tax rate of $2.04 per $100 of assessment and approved commercial
tax rate of $3.86 per $100 of assessment remain unchanged. Sewer charges are increasing from $219 to
$240 per unit to finance upgrades to the treatment plant taking place this year. Solid waste charges are
also increasing – based on actual costs – to $251.68 per unit. To reduce the impact of these service charge
increases Council has also approved an increase in the low-income tax exemption program which will now
provide graduated tax relief ranging from $152.93 to $611.73 to qualifying tax payers with household
incomes under $34,464.


In setting the operating budget the Town Council has to confront numerous financial pressures and
balance competing priorities while remaining conscious of residents’ ability to pay. The 2018-19 operating
budget continues the implementation of the Shelburne Town Council Strategic Plan 2017-21 with key
investments including:
