Revenue says at a minimum, they are likely to see existing tax rates increase - however, each case will be determined individually.

Local homeowners looking to build log cabins on their property could be faced with a second property tax bill.

Revenue says at a minimum, they are likely to see existing tax rates increase - however, each case will be determined individually.
