Tax numbers don't add up

Received my tax notice for 2018-2019 and it states a tax increase of 1.87 per cent. Now for the fine details. As a senior and after all the grants my previous payment was $280 per month. My new tax payment is now $309.70 per month.

Received my tax notice for 2018-2019 and it states a tax increase of 1.87 per cent.

Now for the fine details.

As a senior and after all the grants my previous payment was $280 per month.

My new tax payment is now $309.70 per month.

Not quite sure how the tax increase can be calculated at 1.87 per cent when the tax increase is $29 on a previous value of $280. Maybe the city forgot a digit and the tax increase is really 10.87 per cent.

Nice to see them filling the coffers at the homeowners' expense. A little integrity on what the actual tax increase is would be most appreciated.
