Residents of Noordoostpolder are set to pay more next year in waste and property taxes, while the sewer charge is expected to remain unchanged for them. The waste charge would rise by €9 for single-person households and by €13 for households with several residents, due to inflation, higher CO₂ charges for waste-burning facilities and lower revenue from some waste streams. The property tax increase, which would average 4.76 percent, is to be limited to 3 percent. The municipality says its budget remains balanced through 2030, although it shows a deficit in 2029 that is offset by surpluses in other years. The precise costs of driving licences and travel documents have not yet been set.

The proposed budget includes studies and preparations on parking and cycling in Emmeloord, possible bypasses around Ens and Marknesse, and improved access to Emmeloord bus station. The municipality also plans decisions on a visitor centre and a possible museum island at Schokland, a merger of the theatre, arts centre and library, and a cultural history centre in the Polder Tower. Council members are due to discuss the budget first, while the financial choices for 2030 and beyond—including possible postponements, cancellations or cuts—are to be considered in July.
