Tax rates consist of two parts – an education component and a municipal component.
Municipal tax rates are calculated using the net annual operating budget, as approved by Council, and the City’s weighted assessment for the year as provided by MPAC (Municipal Property Assessment Corp.). Revenue from provincial grants, user fees and other sources are deducted from the total expenditures.
The Province of Ontario establishes the education tax rate for each class of property. For the year 2025, the City will levy and forward to the school boards a total of $ 20 million.
Rates By Property Class
Tax rates are established for each class of property (residential, multi-residential, commercial, industrial, etc.) and are expressed as a percentage of the residential tax rate.
Rates can vary throughout the five tax rate tables within the municipality due to a process called “service area rating”. This process provides a mechanism for taxpayers to pay for the direct or indirect services they actually receive. Individual areas may be impacted to a greater or lesser extent, depending on the cost of the services, causing tax rate changes to vary by area.
