Edmonton Property taxes +8.7%

[fishtank]

Big city taxes eh ! Toronto is the only city in Canada with a bigger percentage increase. looks like those woke idiots at city hall need more money for those bike lanes maintenance .

Outrageous. The Province needs to step in and take over. Core services should be the only focus.

Why should the Province step in? Edmonton voted for this, Edmonton can deal with it.

Virtue signalling is expensive. As they say, go woke, go broke.

It looks like the tax rate has jumped up but hasn't property values gone up as well?

Unless I misunderstand math, your tax bill will also be affected by this value increase. In Calgary, the true number is more like 14%, half from a rate increase, half from property value.

On the bright side, at least we will end up with a useless Green Line to nowhere. The 3 or 4 folks riding most weekends will be thankful.

Does Edmonton allow recall petitions as well?

your property value only means anything when compared to the neighbour’s house

the mill rate is determined by the number of property assessment and the AMOUNT THEY NEED TO FUNCTION OR WISH TI STEAL FROM THE RATEPAYERS

as long as the houses of the same build are valued the same it is the

MONEY THEY NEED TO GET that matters

nothing more nothing less


the FICTIONAL increases in property values mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING


my property is worth 100 bucks and they need 1000 from me the mill rate is 10


my property is worth 50 bucks and they need 1000 the mill rate is 20

same result my friend

From 2 Tollers post:

"In August 2019, Edmonton city council declared a climate emergency, and pledged to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit global warming to 1.5 C."

It looks like the City of Edmonton is going to take on climate change, so the rest of the planet doesn't have to.
Sparkle Socks must be proud.

100 % they voted these buffoons in, let them reap the rewards. Not provincial tax payers

[ehrgeiz]

Easy now, not all of us voted for this band of clowns and honestly fiscal prudence should be a priority of any elected representative not exclusive to the left or right aisle. The adage, don't spend beyond your means seems to only exist on the right anymore.

I'm sure Mike Nickel, likely living outside of Edmonton now, is laughing his ass off!!

Yup. Sometimes you get what you ask for.

Gunter is 100% correct with this article --- this group needs to be flushed

https://edmontonsun.com/opinion/colu...is-council-out

From the article it It is really too bad he did not call Sarah Hamilton out on her comment --- "Ward sipiwiyiniwak Coun. Sarah Hamilton offered a good example of what I mean about lack of budgetary imagination. She told reporters there has been a sharp increase in the cost of transit security"

The province gave the COE money for transit security and they choose to spend a nice piece of it on art work and landscaping . Perhaps if Ms Hamilton's memory is not selective it is short.

Well ya just kinda kick back and plan to move out of dodge.

Idiotic taxes etc got me out of our so called city but it was a three year plan to execute.

Burning the candle at both ends during this time was well worth it looking back.
