GREGG CHAMBERLAIN gregg.chamberlain@eap.on.ca
!e 2016 budget draft report indicates the UCPR needs about $96million to handle all of its operations and capital expense needs. !e municipal levy portion of the budget raised from property taxes amounts to about $38.9 million. If there are no major changes to the pro- posed budget before its "nal approval, the projected property tax "gure for homeowners will be $422 for every $100,000 assessed value of their house and land.!e 2015 residential tax "gure was $414 for every $100,000 of assessed value. !is works out to about an eight-dollar increase in the residential tax "gure for 2016. Commercial, industrial and other types of properties will have di#erent tax "gures. Whe- ther or not individual property owners see any actual increase or decrease on the counties portion of their tax bills next year will depend on whether or not the provincial assessment of their property went up or down or stayed the same. Counties council and sta# will go over pos- sible revisions to the budget at the end of the month. !e goal is to approve the "nal 2016 budget by the end of November.

Chief administrator Stéphane Parisien handled the verbal presentation, tel- ling council that this time there will have to be an increase in the counties property tax rate. “!e tax rate (increase) forecast is two per cent,” Parisien said. “We’re not at four, we’re not at zero, we’re at two per cent.” During the past few years, counties sta# have managed to avoid the need for a tax rate increase with their budget planning but not this time. Along with the usual operating expenses and capital works plans, the counties must hire about a half dozenmore sta# for next year with most of the new personnel working at!e Resi- dence seniors’ retirement apartment building.
