Report CS 15-10 Date: May 10, 2010 Subject: 2010 Tax.Rates for all Classes of Property and Final Page 2 55 Tax Due Dates for All Realty Tax Classes Except for Commercial, Industrial & Multi-Residential Realty Classes Executive Summary: Adoption of the above Recommendations and the attached By-law provides for the approval of tax rates required to raise the levy approved in the 2010 Current Budget of the City of Pickering and to levy taxes for School Boards and for the Region of Durham. Financial Implications: Adoption of the recommendations and passing the By-law will allow staff of the Corporate Services Department to bill the Final 2010 levy for all properties except for the industrial, commercial and multi-residential tax classes. Passing of the by-law will assist the City of Pickering to meet its financial obligations and reduce any borrowing costs. Sustainability Implications: Passing the attached By-law will allow the City to obtain the funds require to maintain it's financial sustainability objectives. Background: The 2010 final tax billing process will consist of two separate components: 1. Residential and residential related (farm, managed forest) properties; and, 2. Commercial, industrial and multi-residential realty classes. Later this year, a report will be presented to Council asking for Council's approval to bill the non-residential tax classes. The non-residential tax classes are subject to tax capping and Pickering's staff in conjunction with the other lower tier municipal tax staff and the Region's finance staff will be working on the tax capping calculations during the next few months. City's Net Tax Levy and Tax Rate Increase The 2010 budgetary increase of 3.90% was adopted by Council through Corporate Services Report CS 07-10. That report approves a budgetary levy increase of $43,788,348 and includes assessment growth of $292,000. For taxation billing purposes, the assessment growth is added to the budgetary levy to arrive at the total property tax levy of $44,080,348. Tax Due Date Instalments Recommendation 3 provides for the due dates for the payment of residential taxes being June 28, 2010 and September 28, 2010. The table below lists the tax instalment due dates for the last three years. Report CS 15-10 Date: May 10, 2010 Subject: 2010 Tax Rates for all Classes of Property and Final Page 3 Tax Due Dates for All Realty Tax Classes Except 5 6 for Commercial, Industrial & Multi-Residential Realty Classes Year 1S Instalment 2" Instalment 2010 June 28, 2010 September 28, 2010 2009 June 26, 2009 September 28, 2009 2008 Jul 9, 2008. September 26, 2008 2007 Jul 11, 2007 September 27, 2007 Communication Strategy In addition to mailing the tax bills, the City will advertise the tax installment due dates on the City's webpage and in the Pickering News Advertiser newspaper prior to each tax due date. Pre-Authorized Payment Plans (PAP) The City offers two Pre-Authorized Payment Plans (PAP): monthly and installment based. The monthly plan consists of eleven payments starting on January 1St of each month. The monthly plan has approximately 6,900.participants resulting in a monthly cash flow of approximately $3.2 million per month. The installment based (introduced last year) has 150 participants and is based on debiting the property tax payers bank account on the due date: (The installment based plan appeals to the "snow bird" segment.) Taxation staff advertise these two plans on the City's website and in the property tax brochures that are mailed with the tax bills. Other Recommendations 2 and 3 provide for the levying of all tax rates on all classes of property except for the non-residential properties where the tax rates and the property taxes will be billed at a later date because the claw back percentages have not yet been determined. Staff have received advice that the claw back percentages should be included in the billing By-law. Therefore, staff will bring a.separate report to Council regarding the non-residential billing hopefully for Council's June meeting. Staff's preliminary estimate for the final non-residential due date is October 14, 2010. Recommendation 4 - Exemption of City Share Property Taxes Royal Canadian Legion Branch 483 (Claremont) Members of Branch 483 have requested that the City renew its current exemption from City share property taxes for another ten year period. This exemption is available to those veteran military organizations that own their property and not rent. The City of Pickering with the Region of Durham have been giving property tax relief to this branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. This exemption was allowed under the Municipal Act 2001, section 325(1). This section was repealed and replaced by subsection 6.1(1) of the Assessment Act R.S.O. 1990. Under this section of the Assessment Act, the Report CS 15-10 Date: May 10, 2010 Subject: 2010 Tax Rates for all Classes of Property and Final Page 4 57 Tax Due Dates for All Realty Tax Classes Except for Commercial, Industrial & Multi-Residential Realty Classes maximum exemption period is ten years. For 2010, the property tax relief is $1,232. Recommendation 4 provides for the continuation of this exemption. Legion Branch.606 (located in a commercial plaza on Bayly Street) rents their space. This organization receives the charity property tax rebate under section 361 of the Municipal Act. It has received this rebate for at least ten years. This program provides a refund of 40% of the property taxes billed. In order to receive this rebate, the property has to be in either in the commercial or industrial property tax class. (Legion Branch 483 is in the residential tax class and therefore is not eligible to participate) in this program. Changes to the Billing Schedule Recommendation 6 and 7, will allow the Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer some latitude, limited by Provincial legislation, in effecting whatever may be necessary in order to ensure that the taxes are billed properly and in a timely fashion. It was always staff's understanding that Recommendation 6 would be used to change the due dates by a few days in order to meet Provincial legislation requirements. (Section 343, subsection one of the Municipal Act states the property owner must have at least twenty-one days to pay their taxes.) A report would be prepared to Council if there was a substantial delay in the billing of the final taxes. Attachments: 1.
