Good morning I own a commercial condo which is tenanted, I have a very good tenant who pays the taxes on the unit. Recently the town of Grimsby increased taxes by 13% how is this helping business, the taxes per year on my unit which is 1100 sqft and has residential above it for extra taxes will be approximately 9,000.00 dollars and they only thing the town provides since it has condo fee’s is snow removal at the front, and they do not even do a good job with that; this is absolute highway robbery. If Mr Ford would like to help business maybe he should start looking at the ridiculous amount of taxes, and the so called municipal councils that apply them; that are applied to commercial real estate; and real estate in general.
