Property Tax Calculator Canada

Property tax is typically based on assessed value rather than current market value. The assessed value is set by a provincial or municipal assessment authority, and the municipality applies its local tax rate to that figure to calculate your bill. This calculator uses your assessed value if entered, or falls back to your property's market value.

It's only as accurate as the municipal tax rate you enter — this calculator does not look up real municipal rates automatically. Multiply your assessed value by your municipality's published mill rate for the most realistic estimate, and confirm the exact figure with your municipal tax office.

Yes, substantially. Tax rates are set independently by each municipality, so identical home values can produce very different tax bills depending on location — Toronto's rate, for example, is meaningfully lower than many surrounding municipalities because of its larger assessment base.

Yes. Property tax is a required part of the Gross Debt Service (GDS) and Total Debt Service (TDS) calculations Canadian lenders use to assess how much mortgage you qualify for, alongside heating costs and condo fees. Leaving it out understates your true monthly housing cost.

This calculator does not include special assessments, local improvement levies, utility charges, or municipal rebate and deferral programs available to seniors or low-income homeowners in many municipalities. Check with your municipal tax office for programs you may qualify for.
