About Property Tax Calculator
Property taxes are annual fees charged by local governments to fund public services like schools, roads, and emergency services. The amount you pay is based on your property's assessed value and the tax rates set by your municipality and other taxing authorities.
How Property Taxes Are Calculated
Property taxes are calculated using the following formula:
- Determine your property's assessed value (usually provided by your municipal assessment office)
- Apply the municipal tax rate (mill rate) to calculate municipal taxes
- Apply the provincial education tax rate to calculate education taxes
- Add any other applicable tax rates (local improvements, special levies, etc.)
- Subtract any applicable tax rebates or discounts
- The sum of these calculations is your total annual property tax
