HOMEOWNERS in
North Vancouver may
not get the relief
promised when City
and District councils
voted to change their
assessment options,
District Alderman John
Lakes warned Monday.

Lakes told District council
that Option C, to which both
councils are switching from
Option D, might not take
effect until 1983 because of
the way the act is worded.

AS - Wednesday, November 25, 1981 - North Shore News

Option C is designed to
remove some of the burden
of property taxes from
homeowners. Under the
current Option D, com-
mercial, residential and
industrial properties are
taxed at 100 per cent of
assessed value, but soaring
house prices mean
homeowners pay a
disproportionate amount of
municipal taxes.

Under Option C the
different classes of property
are taxed only a percentage
of assessed value — and that
percentage is lower for

homeowners than businesses
and industries.

But Lakes said _ that
percentage is supposed to be
the same percentage in
effect on April 1, 1981, but
on April 1, the District was
assessing property at 100 per
cent — under Option D.

Mayor Don Bell said he
would refer Lakes’ concern
to the District’s lawyer and
would report back to council
if there’s any validity to it
before a special council
meeting that will be held
next week to officially adopt
Option C.
