MUNICIPAL REVENUE SHARING INFORMATION AVAILABLE ON WEBSITE

Released on March 22, 2012

Visitors to the Saskatchewan Ministry of Municipal Affairs website can check out revenue sharing totals for individual municipalities at www.municipal.gov.sk.ca/revenuesharing.

The website has users choose a municipality type; cities, towns and villages (including resort villages), or rural municipalities (including organized hamlets) from a drop-down menu. In the adjacent drop-down menu users choose the individual municipality name. Revenue sharing totals are captured from 2007-08 through this budget year, 2012-13.

As announced in yesterday's Budget, Saskatchewan municipalities will receive record revenue sharing of $237.4 million in 2012-13, a 9.5 per cent increase from the previous year and an 87 per cent increase over 2007-08 Budget.

In 2012-13 urban revenue sharing, for all cities, towns, villages and resort villages, rises to $151.94 million. Revenue sharing for rural municipalities, which includes organized hamlets, rises to $68.85 million and revenue sharing for northern municipalities rises to $16.62 million.

While the northern pool has been calculated, individual northern municipal revenue sharing is calculated for communities in mid-April. The website and revenue sharing database will be updated at that time. All pools of funding are up 9.5 per cent over last year, fiscal 2011-12.

More information on the services of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs is available at www.municipal.gov.sk.ca.
