Education Taxes

Education taxes are charged for all properties in Ontario. The rates are provided to the City by the Province on an annual basis.

Residential, Farm, Managed Forest, Multi-Residential & New Multi-Residential Properties

The education tax rates are the same for Residential, Farm, Managed Forest, Multi-Residential and New Multi-Residential property Classes. The tax rates are the same regardless of which school board you have your taxes directed to.

If your taxes are not being directed to the school board of your choice, you must contact the school board to which you want your support directed and they will advise you on the process of changing the support. The contact information for each of the four school boards is listed below:

Commercial & Industrial Properties

Properties in the Commercial and Industrial tax classifications do not have their education support directed to a specific school system. The Province provides the City with the enrollment figures for each system, and the education taxes collected are dispersed based on those numbers to each applicable board. This is a Provincial decision and the City has no input into these disbursements.
