On today’s show, we talk with Tantramar CAO Jennifer Borne and treasurer Michael Beal about why this year’s sharp rise in assessment values for residential property owners is not matched with a reduction in the tax rate. Borne and Beal explain how rising municipal costs, assessment spike protection, and provincial and federal properties in the municipality affect overall tax revenue.
