Understanding Property Tax Assessments in Ontario
In Ontario, property taxes are based on the assessed value of your property as determined by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC). If you believe your property has been assessed too high, you may be paying more in property taxes than you should.
Property owners have the right to appeal their MPAC assessment and seek a fair and accurate valuation.
