Property taxes are the primary source of operating revenue for municipalities and are used to finance local programs and services.  Municipalities set tax rates according to their annual revenue requirements and issue and collect property taxes to support local services.  We also collect education taxes on behalf of the Provincial Government.

Understanding Property Values and Property Taxes

Visit aboutmyproperty.ca to review the information MPAC has on file for your property. You can also learn how and why your property was assessed the way it was and compare your assessment with others in your neighbourhood. Look for your roll number and access key on your Property Assessment Notice to register.  You can also obtain detailed information on up to six properties MPAC believes to be comparable to yours, free of charge, by writing to:

MPAC, Attention: GRAD
PO Box 9808, Toronto ON M1S 5T9

or Fax to: 1 866 297-6703.  If you feel your assessed value as of the legislated valuation date or property classification is not correct, MPAC will review it free of charge. If you disagree with MPAC’s assessment of your property’s value and/or classification, you can ask MPAC to review the assessment to make sure that it is right. This is called a Request for Reconsideration (RfR).  Your deadline is printed on your Property Assessment Notice. If you have misplaced your 2016 Property Assessment Notice, please call us at 1 866 296-MPAC (6722).
