Kenora City Council is turning down a request from Resolute Forest Products, formerly AbitibiBowater to waive the taxes on its property on 9th Street North.
The company argues that some of the buildings left on the old mill site are damaged and are not usable.
Councillor Ron Lunny says they're not buying that argument.
Resolute wanted the taxes waived on the buildings for the 2011 tax year, the last year that it still owned the property.
