As the city of Altstätten reports, the city council is budgeting for a surplus of 4.432 million Swiss francs for 2025 and is requesting that the tax rate be left unchanged at 113 percent.
At the citizens’ meeting on November 28, 2024, voters will also decide on the investment loan of 1.550 million francs for the development of the construction and development project for the eastern bypass.
The budget provides for expenses of 73.907 million francs and income of 69.475 million francs for 2025, resulting in a surplus of 4.432 million francs. This can be covered by a withdrawal from the unused equity capital, which is expected to amount to 16.927 million francs at the end of 2025.
After this year’s reduction in the tax rate by 6 percent, the city council is requesting that it be left unchanged at 113 percent next year. He also proposes a constant property tax rate of 0.8 per mille.
Loans for, among other things, the eastern bypass and mountain bike routes
The city council is applying for loans totaling 6,920 million in the general budget, among other things, for the creation of the eastern bypass construction and support project, for the creation or completion of the support projects for the Lienz and Stadtbach streams, for the first stage of the implementation of the Disability Equality Act for bus stops and for the implementation of mountain bike routes.

Investment loan for project planning of the eastern bypass
After the fundamental vote in June 2024, the next political interim step towards the realization of the eastern bypass will take place.
At the next citizens’ meeting, the citizens will decide on an investment loan of 1,550 million francs for the development of the construction and development project for the eastern bypass.
On the one hand, the eastern bypass is intended to provide better access to industrial and commercial enterprises within the railway line and, on the other hand, to relieve traffic on inner-city streets and intersections.
