Rural Municipalities of Alberta says the total of unpaid taxes from the oilpatch keeps rising despite the industry’s boom. 

In a release, the group says energy companies owe towns and villages in which they operate a total of $268 million.

That’s up more than six per cent from last year.

As well, the rate of non-payment is increasing.
