Prince George has the second highest tax rate for northern communities with a population greater than 10,000. It is not the snow or the north.
Before discussing the city's tax increase this year, consider some facts around peer comparison. All of the data is freely available from the provincial government.
Below is a graph comparing municipal taxes per capita against the area per resident. The circle's height is the tax rate per capita, while the size of the circle is the area per resident. The proposed tax increase is significantly larger than the wage growth in Prince George . The 7.23 per cent proposed property tax increase is 64 per cent higher than the average wage growth. This means that Prince George's residents will have to fund these tax increases by deferring other spending, alongside a larger increase in goods and services inflation.
