#Osoyoos, #BC residents 'quite shocked' to be facing 39% #tax hike

Some Osoyoos, B.C., residents are facing a higher-than-normal hike in taxes and fees for next year.
Municipal taxpayers recently received a letter in the mail outlining the significant increase, which came as a bit of a shock for Osoyoos resident Ron Sargeant.
"Me and my wife were quite shocked because we are both under the impression that it would be 24 per cent. We were under the impression 13-per cent interest increase on property tax with a 10-per cent interest increase on water and sewer," said Sargeant.
"We did not have an opportunity to talk to our government to find out where the money is going, what they're doing with it. We understand where the services are coming from and I'm fully behind charging for water and sewer, but not 40 per cent all at once."
