The Town of Raymond has released its 2024–2025 Comparative Analysis, providing residents with a clear, data-driven look at how Raymond compares to similar communities across southern Alberta.
This annual report examines key performance benchmarks, including:
✅ Total revenues and operating expenditures
✅ Property taxes and mill rates
✅ Council and staff salaries
✅ Municipal debt levels and trends
Highlights from this year’s report include:
- Responsible Financial Management: Raymond continues to operate within its means, spending less per capita than many neighbouring communities while maintaining high-quality services.
- Lower Residential Mill Rate: Council has reduced the residential mill rate for three consecutive years.
- Debt Reduction: The Town has taken on no new debt since 2019 and remains well below the provincially legislated debt limit.
- Transparent Governance: Salary and wage levels remain consistent with comparable communities.
This analysis helps Council make informed decisions, ensures accountability, and demonstrates the Town’s commitment to fiscal responsibility and sustainable growth.
