Sadly, Property Tax is kind of a rogue tax, without much in terms of guidelines etc...

Essentially, if the city has a shortfall or wants to construct something - they can raise the mill rate any ol' time they like.

The R.M. of Wood Buffalo, for instance, went back and forth on how much they were going to raise their property tax rates...10%, 20%, 25%...it was almost like firing a shot off in the dark and seeing what you shot.
