Welcome to the Abbotsford Ratepayers Association (ARA) web site!

This association is brand new. Motivated by record property tax increases and declining community services, concerned citizens have formed this group over the last few months and just recently formalized into an Association by registering with the Provincial Goverment under the Society Act.

Our plan of action is to work with the City to resolve the financial issues we face as a community. Many believe that one of these problems is Plan A. While it is a very large expenditure for the City, it is not our only focus. In one of the best economic environments in BC in a very long time, we are experiencing record increases in property taxes in Abbotsford, on top of those allocated to Plan A expenditure. Combined with the deterioration of community services, we feel that an Association that can present our concerns and solutions to City Council with an organized voice will be most effective. Please join us and add your voice to the ARA.
