City Hall is a buzz with activity this week as they finish collecting taxes for 2006 and start collecting for 2007.

 

Did you get your tax notice in the mail over the Holiday Season?

With the New Year here its time to start thinking about paying your property taxes and we're all paying a little more this year according to Finance Director Brian Acker. "In 2006 there would have been some tax increase. There wasn't actually any tax increases for the municipal tax mill rate but there was about a 10 per cent increase for the school board mill rate, as well there was the implementation of a 40 dollar health levy."

If you pay your taxes before March 31st, you do get a small discount. The deadline to pay 2007 taxes in full is June 30th.
