The Town of Pictou passed its operating budget for the current fiscal year, and resident’s tax
bills will see some small changes.
The area rates remain at $1.69 per $100 assessed for residential and $4.34 per $100 assessed for commercial. The Bid Area Rate will be removed. The Sewer Operational Flat Tax stays at $225.44, while the Sewer Capital Flat Tax is down to $96.74.
The Hydrant Rental Fee is down slightly to 0.154 per $100 assessed. The Curbside Collection and Recycling Fees are $159.12 and $50.38, respectively. In a separate motion, council raised the Fee for a Tax Certificate, usually requested when closing a real estate transaction, from $25 to $40.
Details on the Operating Budget will be posted this week on the town website.
