Just imagine how many more streets and squares she can rename!
Landlords can apply to raise rent above the annually controlled increases for the following reasons:
- Their city taxes have gone up by what the province calls an "extraordinary" amount. (An increase in municipal taxes and charges is extraordinary if it is greater than the guideline plus 50% of the guideline )
- They have to pay for security for the first time, or the cost of security has gone up.
- They're paying for renovations.
The city raised property/infrastructure taxes by 7% in 2023. God knows what they will increase it to this year.
Toronto mayoral elections are controlled by public sector votes. They vote for who ever is going to give them a raise. Year after year and until the end of time, city taxes will increase and theres nothing anyone can do about it.

Toronto police board approves $20 million budget increase for 2024
The Toronto Police Service is asking the city for a nearly $1.2 billion net operating budget for 2024, which it said will allow hundreds of new uniformed officers to be hired.
Why the budget for the Toronto mayor’s office will jump by 37 per cent this year
With the increase included in the 2023 figures, the budget for John Tory’s office will amount to $2.9 million.

Very bad for the car. Short trips wear down the battery. Not reaching operating temperature means that the oil, transmission fliud never gets hot enough to burn off the contaminants and condensation. The exhaust also does not burn off the condensation.
Exactly. It would perhaps be political suicide for all the previous muni governments to endorse market value assessment method to raise the taxes that were needed as Toronto has never paid close to what they should have in property taxes. Its a problem that has been getting worse for 50 years.Good. It's well documented that Toronto's property taxes are low compared to other cities. It's about time. Toronto needs to suck it up and stop whining about having no $. Why should the rest of Ontario need to pay for their parsimony.

Five Ontario cities with the lowest and highest property tax rates revealed
The five Ontario cities with the lowest and highest property tax rates in the province have been revealed.
According to Zoocasa, the five cities with the lowest property tax rates in 2021 were all located within the Greater Toronto Area.
Toronto had the lowest property tax rate in 2021 at 0.61 per cent, followed by Markham at 0.63 per cent.
For comparison, Waterloo's tax rate is around 1.2% in 2023 IIRC.
Idling cars in traffic due to congestion caused by bike lanes doesn't make for good air quality.
I think the trucks are more of a concern compared to cars.
Also, they do not measure brake dust and rubber particles.
Better put those cyclists in cars then and see if that helps traffic flow and idling cars.
The problem with capitalism is its built on permanent expansion/growth, also known as cancer.
That's not where the money went...this project started in 2019 with properties the city already owned...property taxes increased 7% last year and another announcement today will increase them even more.
Where did the money go?
Expansion/growth rather than stagnant government teet-sucking?
Communism never works, you know that silly.
Sure...just give back the lanes they turned into useless bike lanes and we'll be fine.
Remember during the mayoral race, Chow wouldn't answer the question about how she would pay for stuff or how much she would increase property taxes...yet people still voted for her without any clear answers.
No one I know has their pay increase by 10% in a year.
LILLEY: Expect city's budget to call for a whopping double-digit tax hike
Expect a call for a double-digit property tax increase, along with a campaign to get more cash, or taxing power, from the feds and province.
