Tax Rates
 

The tax rates, along with property classifications and the assessed value of your property, are used to determine your property tax bill.

  • Provincial general and school taxes are calculated by applying tax rates to property assessed values.
  • Local service levies on your tax notice are based on tax rates to property assessed values.

The majority of tax rates are applied against both the land and improvement values. In certain areas, however, levies are based on either land or improvement values (marked as either "L" or "I" at the end of the service description).

Tax rates are available in the middle of May for the current tax year.

The tax rates on your rural property tax notice are set by various agencies with taxing authority, based on their budgetary requirements. These include the province (for general and school purposes), as well as local service agencies within specific service areas.
