THIS IS NOT INACCURATE REPORTING IT IS INCOMPLETE AND MISLEADING.
The Nanaimo News report says the average Nanaimo property with a $797.225 value with see $196 more in property tax.
WHY THIS IS MISLEADING
The Property Tax bill Nanaimo property owners will be receiving is not just the Nanaimo City Tax increase of $196.
What this article fails to report is that In addition to the City’s increase, taxpayers will also face increases from every other taxing authority on their bill: the NRGH hospital levy is up 21%, School District 68 is up 5.2%, the RDN is up 5.7%, and the library levy is rising as well.
And even that is not the full picture. Water, sewer, and garbage user fees — taxes by another name — are also going up again this year. water and garbage user fees are each rising 5%, and sewer fees are up 4%.
