On the agenda
As the city filed it
This report requests Council authority to adopt a by-law to levy amounts in the 2023 taxation year for colleges and universities, public hospitals, and correctional facilities (the "institutions"), estimated at approximately $19.6 million (annual "Heads and Beds" levy) based on the current legislative rates. A levy of $75 per head or bed has been in effect since 1987. If the rates had been increased to reflect increases in the Consumer Price Index in each year from 1987 to 2023 (such that the 2023 rate would be $170.64 for each full time student, provincially rated bed, or resident place), an additional $24.9 million in tax revenue would be received in 2023.
