In total, the property tax rate increases by nearly 2 cents per $ 100 of assessment. However, to neutralize this slight increase, Baie-Saint-Paul lowered the rates for its services.
“It is certain that if we had had the $ 1M surplus there this year in Baie-Saint-Paul, we would have even granted a tax reduction to our citizens,” explains the mayor, Michael Pilote.
For a residence with services valued at $ 200,000, the increase will be $ 16 or $ 41 for the same residence without services.
The City also approved an operating budget of over $ 21 million. This is an increase of just over $ 500,000 from last year. The Three-Year Capital Plan is worth a little over 19.3 M for 2022.
Among the investments for the year 2022, amounts are reserved for work on boulevard MGR-de-Laval and the second phase of the arena. An amount of $ 65,000 is reserved for the preparation of the opportunity file for an aquatic area with sports facilities.
