Executive Council Committee: Feb 16

Tomorrow (February 16), the Assessment and Taxation Branch will be presenting a report to City Council’s Executive Committee about Affordable Housing Property Tax Exemptions. This could impact the viability of existing affordable and permanent supportive housing as well as pose a financial barrier to developing new housing.

This report is listed as item 6.1 Affordable Housing Exemptions on the Feb 16 Executive Committee Agenda. Clicking on the item (6.1 in the agenda) will allow you to then click on the report and attachment.
