PUSLINCH — The Township of Puslinch tax increase for 2023 has been set at 4.5 per cent.
That would correspond with a tax increase of $48 for property valued at $610,000.
The Puslinch tax increase in 2022 was 3.83 per cent.
Operating costs have increased because of inflation. Minimum wage, fuel, insurance and winter maintenance has all gone up.
“Puslinch Council has passed a responsible budget that continues to focus on our key priorities during a very challenging period. It is extraordinary that the annual increase to residents is only $48 taking into account the significant inflationary trends and the numerous improvements this budget provides including expanded services and significant investments in infrastructure,” mayor James Seeley said.
