Money goes out …
The government is changing Education Property Tax mill rates for the first time since 2017, a move that’s expected to generate $12 million in revenue.
In 2021, the mill rates for the various property classes will be 1.36 per cent for agricultural, 4.46 per cent for residential, 6.75 per cent for commercial/industrial, and 9.79 per cent for resource. Those numbers previously were 1.43 per cent for agricultural, 4.12 for residential, 6.27 for commercial/industrial and 9.68 for resource.
The change will cost residential homeowners on average $18 more a year.
