Tax Rates
The City of Hamilton under the Business Tax Reduction Plan (BTR) has made tremendous strides to reduce the amount of taxes levied on business properties. Under the BTR initiative, tax cuts, combined with re-assessment and legislated tax levy restrictions, have resulted in a 40% reduction in industrial tax rates and 36% reduction in commercial tax rates over the last 5 years.
