MARTENSVILLE, SK – Martensville City Council approved the 2025 Operating and Capital Budgets at the February 25th, 2025, Special Council Meeting.  Over the past number of months, City Council has reviewed and deliberated over the budget with efforts to minimize property tax increases, manage rising costs, while maintaining services to the community being a top priority.  

The City has budgeted for a 3.97% increase in total property tax revenue.  The average homeowner in Martensville with a total assessed value of $337,200 will see an estimated increase in their municipal property taxes of $7.64 per month or $91.71 per year.  Increases in property taxes are attributed to several factors for 2025 to improve services in the community, including the opening of the Martensville Recreation Centre, along with a number of new staffing requests intended to both maintain and enhance existing services provided by the City.  

Growth in Martensville continues with property taxes from new assessment dollars estimated to bring in another $96,500.  These new tax dollars will also assist in funding the new services noted previously.

Other increases to residents include a garbage and recycling rate increase of $10.00 per year and an increase to the consumption rate for water usage of 4.6%.  These additional increases are due to rate increases from the providers.

In 2025, the City will invest just over $7.3 million in new capital projects including: $4.6 million in water and wastewater upgrades through the New Build Canada Fund; $1.0 million in roadway repairs and rehabilitation; $447,000 in civic facility condition assessments and upgrades; $375,000 on a new pool liner at the Martensville Aquatic Centre; $287,000 on upgrades at all water pump house and sewer lift stations throughout the City; and a $150,000 investment in a city-wide Drainage Master Plan.

Mayor Kent Muench commented, “We believe this budget reflects our commitment to opening the Martensville Recreation Centre, maintaining service levels, supporting key projects, and ensuring financial sustainability for our community. I commend this new Council for its valuable input during these budget deliberations and thank our administration for their dedicated work in preparing the budget.”
