Let’s continue the conversation now about property taxes. 

The City of Vancouver is considering a 9.3% hike in taxes and fees as a part of its 2020 budget.

The figure is included in the city’s Draft 2020 Budget and Five-Year Financial Plan, set to be considered on December 3rd.

The 9.3% figure is a combination of an 8.2% property tax hike and a 9.5% utility fee hike. It also includes an 0.5% tax shift from business to residential properties.On yesterday’s program, we spoke to Vancouver City Councillor, Adriane Carr, who explained why she feels the tax increase is necessary.
