Non-residential property tax

The current non residential tax is $2.00 per square foot, assessed for new, non residential buildings. This money is not money that comes directly from the residential tax payers. I am proposing to Council to adopt a revised resolution. The new resolution would change the funds that the current tax monies are allocated into. The funds that I propose the money to go into include the Recreation Capital Fund, the General Fund, the Curbs and Sidewalk Fund and the General Capital Budget Fund.
