Holy cow.
Must've been sleeping soundly when the District of Coldstream announced--very quietly, obviously -- that the tax hike this year is 4.76 per cent...
...for the average residential home assessed at approximately $469,000.
And don't forget that rate increases are expected from the Regional District, Regional Hospital District, and the Library too. Afraid to even look to see what those increases are...but apparently the various agencies have "sent requisitions."
The five-page property tax rates Bylaw is here.
"Wonder how much of that increase is collective agreements for a burgeoning bureaucracy," muses Kia.
Wonder who's "average" in the Coldstream statement.
Nobody I know around here anyway.
