253.13. A taxpayer is eligible for the averaging of his tax payments if the percentage of increase in the amount of real estate taxes that he is required to pay for a fiscal period, in relation to the preceding fiscal period, is greater than the percentage of increase fixed by by-law as the threshold of eligibility.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the by-law may provide that the payment of real estate taxes imposed on units of assessment of any category determined therein cannot be the subject of averaged payment; in that case, such taxes are not subject to this division.
