City of Saint John wants province to rethink property tax structure
“People who pay tax on the place they live , that was a 12 per cent assessment increase, and in the end of it, they would have seen a six to seven per cent increase overall on their taxes from year-to-year,” Sullivan told Global News.“The heavy industry and the businesses actually got a $3-million break overall.”
Sullivan said that the previous system had some believing they were being double taxed, with 1.5 times already set on by the city and the province taking their share.“Even getting into the room the province vacated, we can’t get there because we need to be at 1.78,” Mayor Donna Reardon said.During the meeting, some city councillors said that the issue is a Saint John-centric problem, citing considerable industry growth throughout the area, leaving taxpayers to ease the burden.
