  • Where do your taxes go?

    About 37% of your property tax bill goes to the Province, and we use the remainder to deliver services. Get a complete breakdown of where your money goes.

  • Pay your property tax

    There are many ways to pay your property tax, either month by month or all at once. Learn more about how to pay your property tax.

Property taxes fund less than half of our operating budget, and we only collect what is required to deliver City services. If we spend less than we budgeted for or have higher revenue, we report those savings annually as a favourable operating variance.
