Bill 204: Kentville, Town of, An Act Relating to Taxation of Industrial and Commercial Properties in the Annapolis Valley Regional Industrial Park (amended)

Businesses most directly affected are industrial and manufacturing operations — particularly food storage, processing, and packaging companies — located in the Annapolis Valley Regional Industrial Park near Kentville, Nova Scotia. If your business runs a plant, warehouse, or food-handling facility in that park, you remain subject to the Town of Kentville's special property tax rules under this legislation. On the other hand, businesses in the park that are commercial in nature but not industrial or manufacturing may no longer fall under this special tax regime, potentially changing how their property is assessed and taxed. This is most relevant to property owners and long-term tenants in the industrial park, regardless of whether they're a solo operator or a larger employer.
