Property assessments
The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) issued every property in Ontario a new 4-year phase in assessment in the Summer of 2016 for the 2017 to 2020 taxation years. This assessment was based on sales from January 1, 2016.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the reassessment through the province has been postponed. The 2016 assessed value of your property will continue to be used going forward until the Province provides instruction on a new re-assessment cycle. If you wish to discuss your property’s new value, please contact MPAC at mpac.ca or 1-866-296-6722.

Tax impacts
Property assessment is a key component of municipal tax systems. All Ontario properties are reassessed by MPAC based on market value every four years. Notice of the reassessed property values are mailed to the homeowner. These values are also provided to each municipality.
The reassessed values will be applied to your home for the following phase-in assessment cycle.
Note: Property assessment values may increase or decrease for a variety of reasons including changes in economic conditions, structural alterations, and re-zonings.
Assessment for newly built homes
Assessment on a newly built home does not happen immediately. Once you take occupancy and the land is transferred from the builder to the new homeowner it can take up to 36 months for MPAC to assess the property and provide the information to the Town. Once the Town receives the assessment information, a supplementary tax bill will be issued to the current homeowner. It is important to understand this process to ensure you are prepared when the bill is issued.
