Dear Neighbors,
I hope this message finds you well. I stopped by your home regarding a recent decision by Brampton City Council to increase our property taxes. Our property taxes are one of the highest in the GTA and there is not much to show for it.
*No functioning downtown core and the least developed city in the GTA.
*One full-service hospital for about a million people.
*Endless construction with no end date in sight leading to several businesses packing up.
*Poor public transit and reduced municipal services to residents.
*Hefty property taxes that is crushing struggling families.
*Poor bylaw enforcement.
What are we paying for? We must speak up, it’s our city, join us in stopping this high taxes!
Did you know that there has been a 400% in Brampton property tax accounts sent to collections, because hard working residents cannot afford it? The 2024 total value of past due tax accounts is $151.2 million. Is your home next?
The following are two local examples that illustrate some of the disparities in Brampton:
- Olde Town Road – 3200 sq. ft. – Property Tax $7600
- Estate of Credit Ridge – 3200 sq ft – Property Tax $10,025
At this rate, most of us will be forced to sell our homes that may be unsellable due to the taxes.
Make it make sense!
We’re inviting all residents to support this petition to show a unified voice in requesting accountability in how we are taxed. Even if you’ve never been involved in local issues before, your signature can make a real difference.
