Parry Sound Muskoka MPP Norm Miller is joining the Lakelands Association of Realtors in opposing a newly proposed Municipal Land Transfer Tax.
According to Miller, the proposed tax would give power to local municipalities in Muskoka to charge home buyers an average of about $10,000 on top of the cost of the home and other fees.
Miller says this extra tax would put a major strain on homeowners who already face the rising costs of hydro bills.
Ontario PC Caucus Deputy Leader Steve Clark has tabled a motion opposing the expansion which will be debated during the Ontario Legislative Assembly on December 3rd.
Miller has also started an online petition which can be found on his website.
Recently both the Lakeland Association of Realtors and Mayor Graydon Smith weighed in on this proposed tax.
