Property tax is calculated by multiplying the assessed property value, determined by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC), by the annual tax rate.
The City determines funding needed to provide City services including fire, transportation, library, recreation and other services through the annual budget process. Some funding comes from the property tax levy.
The Region follows a similar process to determine tax levy funding required to deliver services such as public health, police and paramedics.
The Province determines the applicable tax rates required to fund elementary and secondary education services.
The tax rate is the combined value of the City’s tax rate, Region’s tax rate and Province’s education tax rate.
Tax rates are the same for all 11 wards in the city. The City cannot adjust tax rates to accommodate individual properties or taxpayers who don’t use certain municipal or education services.
Property taxes fund approximately 50-60% of the City and Region’s budgets.
You can learn more about how the City budget works, how property taxes are divided and how the City spends the money collected through property taxes.
MPAC assesses all properties in Ontario and determines the assessment value and classification for municipal taxes. How properties are assessed and classed is determined through the Assessment Act.
Assessment values are currently based on a January 1, 2016 value. Before 2020, reassessments happened every four years. The Province paused the 2020 reassessment and has not yet announced a new timeline.
When a reassessment occurs, property assessment values may increase depending on their location and condition. Even if the property assessment values go up, it doesn’t mean the City makes more revenue. This is because the tax rate is adjusted to make sure the City only collects tax revenue determined through the budget process.
Visit MPAC’s website for more information about how property assessments impact property taxes.
You can learn how MPAC has assessed your property and compare it to other properties in your area by logging in to MPAC About My Property.
The City does not determine your property’s assessed value and/or classification. All disputes must be made with MPAC or the Assessment Review Board (ARB).
If you disagree with MPAC’s classification and/or assessment value for your property, you can appeal. The deadline to file an appeal can be found on your Property Assessment Notice from MPAC.
Visit MPAC’s website to find out the appeal deadlines.
The City can only adjust property taxes if MPAC or the ARB provides a decision about the new assessment value or classification for the property.
If your appeal is for the current year, and the decision is received by the City before Council has set the annual tax rates, the City must wait to process your appeal after the new rates are available.
To avoid any penalty or interest charges, we recommend that you continue to pay your taxes while your appeal is in progress. If you have penalty and interest charges while your appeal is in progress, these charges could be recalculated based on the revised assessment.
Refunds
A refund fee (stated in the City’s Fees and Charges By-law) will be deducted from the refund amount.
If you sell your property while your appeal is being processed, let your lawyer know. Your lawyer will need to handle the adjustment of taxes after the closing date.
