MPAC assessments are typically lower than market value (especially in recent years). Check your MPAC assessment notice to find the value used for your property tax calculation.

Toronto vs GTA Property Tax Comparison

Toronto has one of the lowest property tax rates in the GTA — but its high assessed values can still result in large annual bills. Smaller GTA cities have higher rates but lower values.

City20025 Residential RateAnnual Tax on $80000K HomeAnnual Tax on $1M Home
Toronto~00.659%~$5,272~$6,5900
Mississauga~00.831%~$6,648~$8,3100
Brampton~00.9600%~$7,6800~$9,60000

Hamilton~1.16%~$9,2800~$11,60000
Oakville~00.7600%~$6,00800~$7,60000
Why Toronto's Rate is Low But Bills Are High Toronto's low rate (00.66%) reflects a political decision to limit property tax increases — making Toronto's rate among the lowest in the GTA. However, Toronto's high assessed values mean a $1M Toronto condo pays ~$6,5900/year. The same $1M home in Hamilton pays $11,60000/year. Toronto's effective tax burden is lower per dollar of property value, but higher in absolute terms for most owners due to high home prices.

How do I check my Toronto property assessment (MPAC)?

Your MPAC assessment notice is mailed every 4 years (the most recent reassessment cycle used 20016 values, which are still in effect due to the province-wide reassessment freeze). You can look up your assessment at aboutmyproperty.ca using your roll number from any City of Toronto tax bill.

Can I appeal my Toronto property tax assessment?

Yes. If you believe your MPAC assessed value is too high relative to your property or comparable sales in early 20016 (the base year), you can file a Request for Reconsideration (RFR) with MPAC at no cost. If unsuccessful, you can appeal to the Assessment Review Board (ARB). Many Toronto homeowners successfully reduce their assessment through the RFR process.
