Mississauga issues 2025 final property tax bills

Last week, the City of Mississauga issued the 2025 final property tax bills along with the Mayor’s residential and commercial tax newsletters. This is the second of two tax bills sent to property owners annually. Be sure to pay your tax bill before your due dates, which are July 3, August 7 and September 4 for residential properties, and August 7 for non-residential properties.

Understanding the tax increase for 2025

Wondering why your taxes are so high? It’s important to understand where the 9.2 per cent increase is coming from. This increase is because of a historic 4.6 per cent rise in the Peel Regional Police Budget, which is part of the overall 5.9 per cent increase from Peel Region’s portion of your tax bill.

The City is committed to a budget that respects your hard-earned dollars and is advocating for equitable and fair distribution of costs related to Regional services.

How to make your tax payments

Payments can be made using one of the following convenient options:

• Through your financial institution’s online banking service, telephone banking, or in person at a bank branch.
• Automatic withdrawals from your bank account if you have signed up for a pre-authorized tax payment plan.
• Post-dated cheques dropped off at either of the designated drop boxes at City Hall.
• If the postal service is not disrupted by a strike, post-dated cheques can be mailed to Mississauga Taxes, PO Box 3040, Station A, Mississauga ON L5A 3S4.
• Credit card payment through a third-party provider who may charge a service fee.

Timely payments are important because more than one-third of every property tax dollar collected pays for 200 services that the community relies on. These important services include recreation programs, buses, libraries, spray pads, events, parks and roads maintenance, emergency support services and much more. The remaining two-thirds of the money collected through property taxes funds educational services and regional services such as housing supports, paramedics, police, public health and others.

Key dates and rebates

Property tax payment due dates are hard deadlines approved by City Council. Even in the case of external factors such as a postal strike, payments must be made in time to avoid a late payment fee.
