Property Taxes

Property taxes are billed by the City twice per year: the interim bill and the final bill. There are two instalments due for each billing. All payments must be received by the due date to avoid late payment charges. Penalties of 1% will be added to unpaid taxes on the first day of the month following the due date, and the first day of each month thereafter. The tax collector has no authority to waive penalties/interest charges for any reason.

Understanding your property tax bill

 Picture of a sample tax bill

A: Property identification
This contains identification information such as municipal tax roll number, mailing address, and a legal description of your property.
B: Tax class 
This section lists the classification of your property (i.e., residential, farm, commercial) and educational support. If you have questions about education support, call the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation at 1-866-296-6722. You can also visit their website at mpac.ca.
C: Value
This shows the current assessed value of your property, as determined by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation. For more information on how properties are assessed, please visit mpac.ca 
D: Municipal and area rate levies
This section provides a detailed breakdown of your property taxes as set by City Council. To determine the amount of tax you pay for each service, multiply the tax rate for that service by the assessed value for your property.
E: Education tax 
The education tax is set by the provincial government. To determine the amount of education tax that you pay, multiply the education tax rate by the assessed value of your property.
F: Special charges and credits 
This section lists charges that are specific to your property. Special charges cover a range of services including garbage and waste charges and other local improvements.
G: Summary
This section lists the subtotals of your tax levy (municipal and education), tax cap (no longer applicable), and any credits or special charges.
H: Payment stubs

Property taxes are billed twice per year, the interim bill and the final bill. Each bill has two installments, which is why there are two stubs at the bottom of each bill. Each stub has a due date with the amount due.

You need to submit payment stubs along with your payment when you pay by mail, in person, or at a financial institution. If you pay through a pre-authorized plan, you do not need to submit either of the stubs.
