Niagara Regional Council met yesterday and finalized a budget for 2025 that includes a massive 9.6 per cent property tax increase. When added together with last year’s 7.02 per cent property tax increase, the regional portion of Niagara Region homeowners’ property tax bills will have risen by more than 16 per cent in the span of just two years.
The vote last night was the culmination of a months-long budget process. The budget was largely finalized last week and Council was simply considering a handful of last-minute amendments before approving the 2025 budget.
