Actually property tax increases are based on the price homes sell for in a particular neighbourhood / street. Not weather or not a basement is finished or not.
This is why out spendy spendy town counsel now has a windfall of cash to waste, all a result of the crazy market not long ago.
A razor thin majority of our town counsel thinks money grows on trees for all to grab. Our municipal taxes went up double the rate of inflation last year and is poised to go up even higher next year.
