Property Tax Component of Tenant Rental Payments

The following motion was passed at Council on September 13, 2006:

Property Tax Component of Tenant Rental Payments

Whereas, tenants pay a significant amount of property taxes; and

Whereas, it is difficult for tenants to ascertain their own property tax impact as it is blended into their monthly rent; and

Whereas, high property taxes generally lead to significant citizen involvement in civic life;

Therefore be it resolved that Council correspond with the Minister of Finance in order to request that the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) re-instate the practice of including individual assessments on all tenant properties in Ontario.
