Scott Evans didn’t expect his taxes to nearly triple on the lot he’s developing for a new automobile dealership.
“I’m the guy going out and developing it and I’m still getting charged triple tax until my building is complete, which, I mean, hypothetically it could take two years,” said Evans, owner and general manager of Moose Jaw Ford.
“The whole idea of this triple tax thing was to spur development, but if all the people out there developing land know that as soon as they clear out their land to put something up, they’re going to be triple taxed, I don’t think that’s something that’s going to spur development.”
