HAMILTON (AM900 CHML) - As Hamilton city councillors struggle with ways to prevent a six percent property tax hike, there's word Hamilton residents already pay the highest taxes in the country.
The study conducted by the city of Edmonton compares property taxes and utilities for 25 to 30-year old, three bedroom bungalows with a finished basement and double garage.
In Hamilton, the property tax on that kind of home is more than 42-hundred dollars.
That's almost 15-hundred dollars more than the lowest taxed city in the survey, Winnipeg.
Hamilton came in the highest taxed city.
Brampton was second.
Toronto was eighth.
