Oshawa residents are looking at a 1.41 per cent tax levy increase next year.
City council approved the 2021 budget Friday after a weeks-long process that started with a tax increase of 2.39 per cent.
This means a $28.25 tax impact for residents on a property valued at $356,000.
Ward 5 Councillor and Chair of the Finance Committee John Gray says it was a civil debate, and in recognition of current difficulties, getting down to 1.41 per cent is significant.
He noted with a projection of 9.46 in the beginning, staff worked hard with a number of innovations, as well as councillors who also added their input.
