Understanding Property Taxes in Canada
How property taxes work
Property taxes are municipal taxes charged on residential, commercial and investment properties. They help fund local services such as roads, schools, emergency services and public infrastructure.
Assessment value vs market value
Property taxes are generally based on assessed value rather than current market value. Assessment authorities periodically reassess properties to determine taxable value.
Property tax differences by municipality
Tax rates differ by city and municipality. A home of equal value may generate significantly different tax bills depending on location.
Property taxes and mortgage affordability
Canadian lenders include property taxes when calculating housing affordability ratios such as GDS and TDS.
Property tax relief programs
Many municipalities offer rebates, grants or tax deferral programs for seniors, low-income homeowners and eligible residents.
