Property Taxes:
Property taxes provide municipalities with the funds they need to deliver the programs and services residents depend on each day. The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) determines a market value for every property in the Province of Ontario. Property values are then provided to municipalities in the form of an assessment roll.
Once the annual municipal budget has been determined, tax rates are determined using the assessment roll provided by MPAC. Tax rates differ between for various tax classes (i.e., residential, industrial, commercial, etc.). The interim tax levy is calculated based on 50% of the annualized property taxes for the prior year.
The Township is also required to collect education taxes for school boards and an education tax rate is included on your property tax bill.
