Assessments are on the rise in the RM of Woodlands.

Woodlands Council recently heard from the Manitoba Assessment Branch about the impact reassessments will have on the 2018 tax year, and Reeve Trevor King says both farmland and residential property values will increase. King explains farmland assessments will go up about 25 per cent while residential will rise 15 per cent.

"It's fairly close to what's been happening across the province ... when it comes to budget time we're going to have to take a good look at this assessment and hopefully we can drop the mill rate so that it doesn't impact the taxation that much," King explains. "But that depends on how much it's going to cost for services and to maintain that level."

The new assessments impact the 2018 and 2019 tax years.
