How property taxes are calculated

Your final property tax bill is calculated based on the assessed value of your property, established by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC), and by the municipal tax rate. The Town only has jurisdiction over the local municipal portion of the total tax rate.

Once the Town, Halton Region, and the Province (school boards) have determined the dollars required to fund community programs and services, the property tax impact can be calculated.

The Town has a property tax calculator available to assist households and businesses in calculating property taxes.
