Council may forego over $150,000 in permissive tax exemptions to 25 organizations 

Duncan City Council will consider waiving more than $150,000 in taxes for nearly 25 local organizations at its next meeting. 

The City of Duncan said a final reading of the permissive tax exemptions bylaw will determine whether the groups receive full or partial exemptions. 

If approved, the exemptions would apply for one year. 

“These bylaws propose to exempt or partially exempt from taxation on buildings, the lands on which the building stands and the lands surrounding certain buildings,” the city said in a statement. 

Council will discuss the bylaw Oct. 27 at 6 p.m. at city hall.
