Hello there,
Is it possible to get a listing for the increases across the Province. We the People of Huntsville are collectively challenging the approved 10.68 % tax increase and we are thinking it is the highest in the province and we would love to find out if this is true. Many thanks
Many thanks in advance for your assistance
There is no province-wide chart that I am aware of.
