The Owen Sound taxpayer spends 7.7% of their after-tax income on taxes; while the average taxpayer in our area spends on 4.4% of their income. This speaks volumes about the financial well-being of Owen Sound families - all families, since landlords pass on taxes in the form of rent increases. In other words Owen Sound taxpayers are unfairly burdened by taxes as compared to taxpayers in our adjacent municipalities.
