How your property is assessed

MPAC is responsible for assessing and classifying all properties in Ontario. You can find a detailed overview of the assessment process on their website.

To learn more about how MPAC assessed your property, or to compare your assessed value to others in your neighbourhood, visit aboutmyproperty.ca.

Assessment concerns

If you think that your current value assessment or property classification is incorrect:

• Contact the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation
• File a request for reconsideration (RFR)

If you disagree with MPAC’s decision on your RFR, you have the option to appeal to the Assessment Review Board.

You are still required to pay taxes while awaiting the outcome of an appeal. Once we receive notice of the appeal decision, we will make the applicable changes to your tax roll and adjust your balance accordingly. Any penalties or interest charged on outstanding tax amounts prior to your appeal approval cannot be waived.

Changing your school support

If you are a property owner in Ontario, you must support a school board, even if you do not have children or your children are not currently in school.

The school board you support is noted on your assessment and can be changed through MPAC. By default, your school support is the English Public School Board unless otherwise requested by the owner or tenant.

To learn more about changing your school support, visit the MPAC website.
