SD&G – The United Counties of SD&G is going into budget talks this week with a preliminary decrease of a fraction of 1 per cent on the county portion of property taxes.
The draft $69.6 million budget is about $2.2 million larger than it was last year. But the county plans to collect $20,175 fewer tax dollars compared to last year. Total taxation is around $50.6 million.
That’s due in part to property growth. The value of all properties in SD&G grew by $70.5 million year over year, meaning thousands more tax dollars and spreading the burden over more households and businesses.
