Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston announced government will not be moving forward with the non-resident property tax.<\/p>\n

In a release the Premier said, \"My intentions all along were to improve home affordability, not to be at odds with our core value of being a welcoming province. I have heard for months from Nova Scotians who are concerned about housing affordability and want to be able to buy their first home. I commit to finding a tool to make it more affordable for first-time homebuyers.\"<\/p>\n

The release goes on to say the non-resident property tax will be removed completely for all non-residents who own residential property in Nova Scotia. The non-resident deed transfer tax will proceed as planned. Both measures were introduced in the spring budget.<\/p>\n
