This is my first year paying property tax and I had so many people tell me “oh you’re in Toronto it’s so bad”, and it’s not?? I pay the same if not less than a family member in Bracebridge, and we get so many things. I’ll happily pay what I pay, or more if it goes into the city and things I use and my neighbours use to be better.

If the religious organizations paid taxes on their property, overall rates would go down.

People don’t even understand property taxes lol - the reason the tax RATE went up is because of DOUG FORD freezing MPAC - the budget obviously has gone up under Chow or not - so yes some people would have paid more taxes regardless - but the actual rate could have gone ~~ down - and many regular property owners would have paid less - because so many kinds of properties including industrial etc - increased in value faster than property - and if Doug Ford didn’t freeze MPAC in 2020 and 2024, the share would have been sliced far more equally than it is right now

Where my parents live in the states, property taxes are about $24k/year on a $600k home. Toronto’s (and the GTA’s) rates are very, very low and we get much more from the cities they fund

What do I say to my boss who’s anti-Olivia Chow based on property taxes, who I had the same argument about Toronto has the lowest property taxes in the region and we need to fund social services in our community, but he’s like something about how they used to get money from all the land transfer fees and now with people buying houses less due to the economy, the increases to property tax is to make up for that and how in proportion to other towns/cities with higher property tax, this is somehow relevant. He kept adamantly argument bradbrad’s budgets made sense, but they don’t.

US pay high property taxes because their income taxes are low. You can’t raise property taxes when our income taxes are already suffocating. It doesn’t only affect home owners. It’s forcing landlords to raise rents

the city needs to learn to rein in spending. The core stuff is expensive enough already

Yeah property taxes are too low in Canada in general, it should actually be the highest form of tax we have, as a land value tax, higher than income taxes and sales taxes

Raising the taxes is not as much of an issue as what the money is being wasted on. I'm ok paying a bit more, but I need to see an improvement in services...but instead we're setting a decline. It doesn't make sense.

We don’t have a revenue problem. We have a spending problem.

I agree they need to go up but nobody ever includes the garbage fees in the numbers which puts us middle of the pack, additionally, we have the largest commercial tax base in the country with all the office buildings, and they rarely mentioned second land transfer tax
