Digby has lower commercial taxes and fees than the majority of Nova Scotia Municipalities:
Nova Scotia Municipal Property Tax Rates
These rates are applied to property assessment (based on market value) which can change from year to year.
The convention is to express the tax rate as per $100 of assessment.
