Kenora Taxes

Local property owners will likely see lower overall tax rates this year.

Council is planning to set its tax ratios next week at its public meeting.

Finance Manager, Karen Brown says while municipal rates will be going up marginally, education taxes will be going down 4.37 percent.

She adds that the Pinecrest Home For the Aged has finally approvedits 2010 budget, and it will mean a 22 thousand dollar decrease in levy's for the municipality.

Brown says the big question mark is the Kenora District Services Board, which still hasn't finalized its budget.
