Strathcona County - Municipal Website

Strathcona County has reduced its fire restriction to a fire advisory effective immediately, due to cooler temperatures and rain. Under a fire advisory, fire and fireworks permits are valid however they may be temporarily suspended based on the current conditions (wind speed, temperature etc.).

A fire restriction has been declared for Strathcona County, effective 4 p.m. on May 5. The County has called the restriction in response to the dry conditions and windy weather. The restriction applies to all rural areas in the County.

Strathcona County residents will soon receive their property tax notices, which reflect a cumulative increase of 3.90 per cent. The County continues to have one of the lowest municipal tax rates in the Edmonton urban metropolitan region. 95 per cent of revenues go to services to support citizens, not to banks to pay debts.

Strathcona County’s annual budget survey is open for residents to share their thoughts on taxes, spending and priorities. Results will be used to inform Council and County budget decisions.

Strathcona County is pleased to present "Journeys and Transitions", a new exhibition featuring artworks by 75 members of Gallery@501. The exhibit opens at Gallery@501 on May 1, 2025, and shows until June 21, 2025.
