2009 Property Taxation
Rates:
Residential
The Tax
Rate is applied to the property's CURRENT
VALUE ASSESSMENT, as determined by the Municipal
Assessment Office (www.mpac.ca),
to determine the amount of property taxes to
be collected.
For example, a
property assessed at a value
of
$ 240,000 in the Residention Property Class would be taxed at the rate of 1.445% (incorporates tax rates set by the Region of Durham and the Province of Ontario) resulting in total property taxes of $ 3,468.00. The tax levy is calculated by multiplying the assessed property by the combined tax rate or $ 240,000 X 1.445% = $ 3,468.00 Industrial
The sample assessment is based on: total building
floorspace 25,000 sq.ft.; 10% office; steel
frame with brick & block; ceiling height
- 16 ft; sprinkler system present; 1.72 acres,
fully serviced industrial; and 10,000 sq.ft
ashphalt area (parking)
Assessment (estimated):  $ 1,350,000.00
Industrial Tax Rate (occupied): 0.04634324
Industrial Realty Taxes (estimated):$ 62,562.24
Industrial Realty Taxes/sq.ft. (estimated): $
