As we noted above, the Utilities notice is the first of two tax regimens that the City has in the community, the next tax notice that will arrive in your mailbox comes in the late Spring, when the City of Prince Rupert mails out their property tax notices for the year.
Almost since they returned to the Council chamber following the municipal election of October, some City Council members have be telegraphing that 2023 is going to be a rough year.
The bulk of the city council concern comes from the lack of financial options and limitations that they state, that they have, in areas of port related taxation and how that impacts on their budgeting themes.
With the dominant theme of recent meetings that of some councillors warning of the prospect of a property tax increase likely, perhaps one that delivers a number that residents may not have seen for many years.
January 11, 2023 -- Port Property valuations, impact on PILT and Civic vexation from it all, make for bulk of discussion at Monday City Council Session
December 7, 2022 -- Financial Clouds for 2023 shape decision making for 2023 Prince Rupert Community Enhancement Program
But you know as in the report as noted we are coming into a challenging year, this year for our budget coming up and I have a hard time wanting to add to that hard time that's going to be coming for us. And it's probably not going to be a wonderful year for our budget of 2023 I think we've got a a lot of challenges .... -- Prince Rupert City Councillor Wade Niesh at the December 5th council session
What level of increase, if any to be assessed, will be determined later this year as City Council begins its Budget Discussion consultation period through the Spring.
