Following several months of discussion, Dysart et al council officially approved its 2021 budget on Friday morning [Feb. 12].
In what was a third draft of the document, councillors settled on implementing a 1.16 per cent tax levy increase to the municipal portion of homeowners’ 2021 property tax bill. According to Barbara Swannell, the township’s treasurer, that will equate to an additional $3.41 per $100,000 of assessment for residential property owners.
While the same levy increase will be applied to commercial and industrial units, the dollar increase will be a little higher. Taxes on industrial properties will go up $5.86 per $100,000 of assessment in 2021, while commercial properties will see an increase of $5.06 per $100,000 of assessment.
