Overview 

Property taxes in Milton are based on your property’s assessed value and the current municipal and education tax rates. These taxes help fund local services such as roads, emergency services, waste collection, and community programs. You can use the property tax calculator to estimate your annual property taxes and review current tax rates and fees that may apply. 

Taxes are calculated over a 12-month period regardless of occupancy date. The current year’s taxes are typically available on or around June 1. Adjustments from supplementary, omitted, or appeal activity will be reflected where applicable.
