According to the Unpaid Oil and Gas Property Tax Survey conducted by the province in 2022, a cumulative $220 million in unpaid taxes has been reported by municipalities, with $130 million in tax arrears and the remaining $90 million in cancellations. About $76 million is owed by companies that are still operating, and that money is potentially recoverable, possibly through repayment agreements.

The Rural Municipalities of Alberta told CBC News there is now about $253 million in unpaid taxes reported provincewide.

As long as Hellberta continues to operate their O&G governance with a provincial open-wallet mandate, nothing will change.
