Property Tax Calculator

The amount of property tax owing on your land and/or building is the result of a calculation based on the following several factors:

The market value assessment of your property;
The tax class into which your property falls;
The municipal tax rate for that class (set annually by your City Council);
The county tax rate for that class (set annually by County Council);
The tax rate for the Education (school support) portion of that class (set annually by the Province of Ontario).
