2018-2019 Municipal Tax Rate Set

The Municipality of the County of Victoria recently passed a 2-cent increase on residential and commercial property taxes. This is the first increase in more than a decade.

Residential rate is now $1.22 per $100 of assessment; the commercial rate is $2.12 per $100 of assessment.

The increase was required to meet the increasing demands on the municipality due to a number of things, including increased provincial regulations on solid waste and an increase in educational costs.

Tax bills will reflect this increase and will be in the mail soon. Property taxes are due August 31, 2018.
The Municipality of the County of Victoria budget can be found here and here.

Town Hall Meeting Follow up

More than 50 people joined Victoria County councillors Bruce Morrison and Perla MacLeod as they hosted a Town Hall with representatives from Irving Oil and the provincial department of Transportation, Infrastructure & Renewal (NS TIR) on June 5. Irving is planning upgrades, which include better access to and from their site, a re-arranging of traffic flow at the Irving gas pumps, card Lock and Tim Horton's. NS TIR is planning to add right and left turning lanes. Both expect this work to happen at the same time  - which is expected after Labour Day. The number one concern of residents at this meeting is the speed limit of 90 kilometers per hour on the Trans Canada. Most feel it should be lowered. Council has repeated asked for a lowered speed limit at this site and encourages everyone to write a letter to Lloyd Hines,  Minister of Transportation, Infrastructure & Renewal with this request.
