Fraser-Fort George Regional District (FFGRD) directors have adopted a "status quo budget" that will see only minor changes in the bills property owners will pay.
In Prince George, it will be a slight decrease as the owner of a home worth $211,954 will pay $146 to the FFGRD, a $2 decrease from last year.
The rate per $100,000 of assessed value will be $68.98 compared to $73.32 last year when
the average value of a home stood at $200,396 according to B.C. Assessment.
"It's a basic status quo budget," said Prince George Mayor Dan Rogers. "I think that's good, in the short term it helps a little bit, but we still need to do more work in the longer term in services that the citizens of Prince George are paying for that many of the rural residents are enjoying but not contributing to."
