Saint John Lancaster MLA Dorothy Shephard is wondering how many people may be paying too much property tax because of mistakes being made in the issuing of the bills.
Shephard says one of her constituents came to her complaining about a 26 per cent increase in her property tax bill. The matter was taken up with Service New Brunswick which discovered there had been a mistake and a new bill is being sent out next month.
Shephard says there was another similar case with a property owner on the east side.
She’s urging homeowners to pay close attention to their property tax assessments.
