Council approved the final budget for next year for the United Counties of Prescott-Russell (UCPR) during its Wednesday meeting. The budget includes a one-per-cent tax increase that UCPR Finance Director Valérie Parisien told council will that the one per cent increase means a $4 increase in property tax for every $100,000 assessed value of the average residential property in the counties.

The total 2021 budget, including both operations and capital works portions, is $140,948,100. The municipal levy part of the budget, which is property tax revenue, is $48,041,800.
