Prince George City Council gave the first three readings of the bylaw for 2026’s Permissive Tax Exemptions.
According to a staff report, the total estimated value for the tax exemptions is a little more than $2.2 million, or 1.47 per cent of the tax levy. (Based off 2025 tax rates and assessment values)
Permissive tax exemptions are a way for City Council to support organizations within the community which further Council’s objectives of enhancing quality of life and delivering services economically.
Provincial legislation provides statutory tax exemptions for places of worship.
Two new residences were approved for tax exemptions by the City’s Standing Committee on Finance and Audit; 1177 Francois Crescent being used by AiMHi, and a property on Ferguson Lake Road being used by the Nature Trust of BC.
Councillor Ron Polillo recused himself from the vote, as he is employed by AiMHi.
