Alberta may soon require oil and gas companies to keep on top of their municipal property tax payments if they want to keep producing. It’s one of the proposals released Monday in a report by the Rural Municipalities of Alberta and the province.The stakes are high.Unpaid property taxes by some in the energy industry is a long-standing issue, with Alberta’s rural communities owed more than $250 million as of last year.Municipal Affairs Minister Dan Williams told reporters that while the report is a path forward, the unpaid money to date is likely gone forever.“The majority of past arrears are fundamentally…
