The City of Vernon’s 2009 budget is now written in stone after final adoption of the tax rates bylaw. “The city’s tax calculator is online. You can see the affect of the budget we passed,” said Coun. Bob Spiers, who opposed the budget with Coun. Patrick Nicol. The tax increase for an average assessed home is 1.99 per cent but Spiers has said it will be higher for many homes because of a shift in fire protection taxation and land (not just improvements) being levied for firefighting services.
