The municipal tax rate is determined after Municipal Council and the Region of Durham approve their budgets and the Province of Ontario establishes the Education Rate. The tax rate is applied to the property's current value assessment (CVA) to determine the amount of property taxes to be levied.

ABOUT PROPERTY TAXES

I recently purchased this property, shouldn't this bill go to the previous owner?
Under the current legislation, it is the property and not the individual owner that is taxed. As such, the current owner is responsible for any outstanding taxes, including pre-ownership taxes resulting from legislated retroactive adjustments. Please contact your lawyer to resolve discrepancies in your purchase transaction.

Does it matter if I have had an assessment changed?
If your assessment has been adjusted by either the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) or by a decision of the Assessment Review Board, then it will affect the capping calculation. The majority of approved assessment related changes, which have been received by the Municipality, are incorporated in the capping adjustments. However, assessment changes are ongoing and will result in revisions to the appropriate tax billing year.


What do I do if I have tenants?

In 1998, the Province eliminated the Business Occupancy Tax (billed to business rather than property owners) and the lost revenue was recovered by an increase in the general property tax rate. The Province passed legislation that allowed the property owner to pass through some of their increased costs to tenants who were relieved of tax liability in 1998. Bill 140 requires that property owners recalculate any tenant's tax adjustment.
