Georgetown Tax Hikes Contain Despite Halton Hills Plan
Halton Hills slows local tax rise as Georgetown increases 1.13 mills over 1974 while Acton tops the region with a 5.86 mill uptick. Georgetown’s 1975 home tax rises about 3.47 on a 7,500 assessment, with nearby towns facing larger jumps. Budget notes credit a three-year planning cycle and 1974 surplus used to cushion 1975 and 1976 costs, including capital projects like a new fire truck. Local officials tout Levis and Henderson praising the plan as the region’s envy while aiming to keep long-term debt low and preserve reserves for future needs.
