Owners of lands and buildings have to pay real property taxes annually. Taxes are a percentage of the property’s taxable value. Taxable value is computed by multiplying a land or building’s Fair Market Value (FMV) to its Assessment Level. Both the FMV and the Assessment Level are based on the schedule imposed by the Provincial Government. The Municipal Assessor’s Office submits to the Provincial Government a new Schedule of Fair Market Values every 3 years. Real property tax payments are made at the Land Tax Division of the MTO. Taxpayers may choose to pay on an annual or quarterly basis. Discounts are given to those who pay in advance and those who pay on time.
