lladysmith property taxes

2010 PROPERTY TAX RATE CHANGES The overall tax rate increase contained in the 2010 budget is 4.45%.

In the face of ongoing economic uncertainty abroad and at home, tax increases have been kept as low as possible while maintaining the lev-els of service the community desires.

Although non-tax revenues from sources such as interest on investments, development fees and building permits are projected to be slightly higher than in 2009, they will still be well below previous levels.

The average single-family residential house, which is assessed at $293,465, will see a 5.99% in-crease or $69 over last year.

In keeping with Council’s policy to limit commercial property tax increases and encourage economic activity, the commercial property tax will increase by 2.96%.

The 2010 budget also reflects Council’s direction to reduce its reliance on tax revenues from heavy industry. Since 1995, we have consistently re-duced our dependence on heavy industrial taxes. This year, heavy industry will contribute 15.73% of the Town’s property tax revenue, compared to more than 30% in the 1990s.

The dream of a community garden in Ladysmith has become a reality! If you haven’t already seen it, the land on High Street beside the Litt le League baseball fi eld has been transformed into 25 boxed garden plots, almost all of which have been rented to gardeners, young and old, novice and seasoned. There will be one large, communal centre plot in the shape of a dogwood fl ower with a boundary of river stones. The bounty of the labour from this plot will be shared with those who might not otherwise have an opportunity to garden.

The diversity of local gardening experience brought together in one place was part of the original vision of the garden, made a reality by the organizing eff orts of a few dedicated volunteers. Over the past year, organizers have held meetings with interested citizens and created the Ladysmith Community Gardens Society (LCGS).

This great project could not have been completed without the help of many people to whom the members of the LCGS are very grateful. The Ladysmith Department of Parks, Recreation and Culture has helped facilitate several meetings. The Vancouver Island Health Authority (VIHA) provided meeting space and has expressed interest in having a second garden site at the corner of 4th and Symonds on the grounds of the Ladysmith Community Health Centre. Thanks to a grant from the Town

of Ladysmith, and help from employees in the Public Works Department, the lot is being transformed day by day.

Not just individuals, but the Ladysmith Boys and Girls Club has rented a plot, as has Ladysmith Family and Friends (LAFF). Their participation will help make the activity of gardening an intergenerational one, where experience and techniques can be shared.

The LCGS hopes to expand the vision of inclusion and community building by having even more supportive partners from the local business and non-profi t sectors. Much remains to be done to transform the site into an inviting, park-like sett ing. For more information, please contact John Anderson at 924-2594. co
