Durham taxpayers say that Toronto homeowners have had it easy.
When Arun Pal moved from Scarborough to Ajax, he knew his property tax bill would nearly double in Durham.But Pal had traded to a city with one of the highest residential tax rates in the Greater Toronto Area — joining residents like Anne Simkins, who for decades has paid more in municipal tax than her friends west of Rouge River.
But after years of marginal bumps, Toronto City Hall has tabled the highest hike since amalgamation: a five-and-a-half per cent hike to residential property taxes, plus a one-and-a-half per cent increase to the City Building Fund, a dedicated levy for housing and transit. “We’ve had very light property tax rates for a long time relative to others in the GTA region,” said CEO Lauren Haw.
