👉Edmonton city council unanimously approved an 8.9% property tax increase on Tuesday evening. This increase equates to roughly $66 for every $100,000 in assessed property value. The additional tax revenue will fund expanded services, including the new metro line to NAIT, increased bus service, and an enhanced response to homelessness. Originally proposed at 6.6% in the fall and discussed at 8.7% in April, the final increase addresses lower-than-expected revenues, higher labour costs, and increased population growth. The tax levy contributes over half of Edmonton's operating budget, with a bylaw to set the new rate expected next week and tax notices mailed on May 23.✅ .

👉The British Columbia Supreme Court rejects an appeal by the Matsuri Foundation, seeking property tax exemption for its $12.9M Knapp Island near Swartz Bay. The foundation, promoting the Shinto religion, argued the island as a "place of public worship," but the court upheld the Property Assessment Appeal Board's decision, stating insufficient public accessibility. The Matsuri foundation, previously tax-exempt on Salt Spring Island, moved to Knapp Island in 2022. The court ruling emphasizes that worship on Knapp Island is deemed private, contrasting it with tax-exempt properties in the region with distinct features.✅ .
