The Ville’s finance department announced that the residential tax increase would “on average” fall between 2.3% and 3.2%.
Detailed Analysis of the Figures:
The Reality Behind the Average: Only a few hundred property owners actually fall within the 2.3% to 3.2% range announced by the Ville.
Growing Inequity: While more than 40% of residences will see their tax bill decrease, approximately 2,000 other households face significant hikes ranging from 10% to over 100%.
Lack of Representativeness: Notably, not a single elected official has a tax increase that falls within the Ville’s announced range of 2.3% to 3.2%.
Our point of view: Since it is essential for the community to better understand the finance department’s budget process, we suggest that the Ville establish a transparent link between the announced “average increase” and the actual growth in residential tax revenue—which is nearly three times higher than the midpoint of the posted average rate.
