How rates are determined
Timber dues and other fees associated with timber dispositions are collected by the province – under the authority of the Forests Act – to ensure Albertans receive fair compensation for the use of publicly-owned forest resources. The timber dues rates applied are based on current market prices and financial conditions, are can be found in Tables 1 to 4 of the Timber Dues Ministerial Order.
