2020 Property Tax: WestVan residents said they would support a property tax + utility increase less than 1% — council voted for and approved 4.9% (average home)

In 2020 WestVan residents were asked:

WV Council is proposing a 6.11% property tax Increase for 2020 (3 times 2019 inflation rate). In your opinion what should 2020 property tax increase be. Response about 1% and council approved a 4.8% increase

Once again, council ignores wishes of WestVan’s silent majority Residents.

Historically WestVan property tax + utility increases have increased at an unsustainable rate of 3 times the inflation rate. See this illustrated in the below graph.
