What is this notice about?

The Town of Fort Macleod is proposing to adopt Bylaw No. 2006, a new Multi-Unit Residential Tax Incentive Bylaw. If approved, this bylaw would replace Bylaw No. 1962.

What is changing?

Proposed updates to the bylaw include:

• A $100 application fee is now non-refundable.
• Revised Section 4.3 – clarifies application deadlines as March 31 of the year the construction will appear on the property’s assessment.
• Revised Section 5.4 – clarifies construction timeline wording.
• Revised Section 6.2 – confirms Council reviews submissions, not full applications.
• Updates to zoning types to include RMU1 and RMU2 in line with the latest Land Use Bylaw.

 

How can I participate?

You can share your thoughts on the bylaw in two ways:

• Submit a presentation – Contact the Chief Administrative Officer by August 15, 2025, at 1:00 p.m.
• Attend the public hearing – Speak in person at the meeting on August 25, 2025, at 7:00 p.m.
