​Every four years, the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) updates the value of each property in the province as part of Ontario’s assessment cycle. The current Assessment Update is taking place in 2016, based on a valuation date of January 1, 2016. The last update was in 2012 and affected the tax years 2013-2016. Any increase in the new assessment from the previous assessment will be phased in equally over the next four years (2017-2020).
Re-assessment does not necessarily result in higher taxes.
Residents with any questions regarding the new assessment can call MPAC’s Customer Contact Centre at 1-866-296-MPAC (6722). Alternatively, MPAC’s website AboutMyProperty™ can provide specific details about your property assessment. AboutMyProperty™ is MPAC’s secure, online self-serve website that allows property owners to learn more about how their property was assessed, see information MPAC has on file, and compare it to others in their neighbourhood/area.
