#65 Builder By Day - Taxes in Halifax21 nov 202530 min

In this episode, Ryan explains how years of municipal mismanagement, inefficiency, delays, bloated payrolls, and poor decision-making have created a crisis that is now being dumped onto homeowners, landlords, renters, and businesses across HRM.

He breaks down:

Why a 10.5% tax hike is unprecedented

How commercial buildings are taxed at triple the residential rate

Why housing costs keep skyrocketing

How fees, delays, and bureaucracy choke development

Why government crews operate with zero efficiency

What accountability should look like

Why silence from industry is no longer an option

If you live in Halifax, own property here, rent here, or build here — this episode explains exactly why everything feels more expensive… and why it’s going to get worse unless something changes.
