Community Racket Court at Risk After $500K Property Tax Increase
/CNW/ - The future of the Fairgrounds Racket Club at 8 Rosehill Avenue is at risk due to a property tax reclassification that dramatically increased taxes on...www.newswire.ca
Although I am in favour of a property tax break for things like this that can help activate a site temporarily and animate the local area, it seems like this was done without informing the City or MPAC - more of a beg for forgiveness than ask for permission type of situation.
Mind you, Fairground's pickleball courts aren't a community use, they are a revenue generating - so a commercial tax class does make sense.
Not sure how this unfolds, but this is not very cut and dry from a tax classification perspective. I can see other developers with vacant sites asking for this reprieve if Originate get a tax break here
