How is the property tax rate set?
In the spring, City Council will set the property tax rates by passing a Tax Rate Bylaw. Rates are determined by dividing the total property tax amount needed among the total taxable assessed value for city properties. There are separate rates for residential, multi-family, non-residential and farmland.
