Your taxes are calculated by multiplying the assessment value of your property by the tax rate(s). Your tax bill lists the tax class code(s) that apply to your property, the assessed value(s), the tax rate(s) and the final taxes.

- 2026 Final Tax Rates
Interim tax rates are calculated in one of two different ways. If the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) has undertaken a reassessment then notional tax rates are used. Notional tax rates are designed to smooth out the impacts of any substantial tax changes as a result of the reassessment or any significant changes to a property. In non-reassessment years interim tax rates are equal to 50% of the previous year's tax rates.

How will reassessment affect my 2017-2020 taxes?
Halton Region has experienced higher market value increases than the province as a whole. Halton Hills' market value increases are approximately 25 per cent. If your assessment has increased by more than 25 per cent you will experience an assessment related increase in your taxes that will be phased-in over the four year period. For example:
2017 (old) market value — $600,000
2020 (new) market value — $850,000
Increase — $250,000
This example represents a 42 per cent increase or 10.5 per cent increase year over year from 2017 to 2020. The town's overall average increase is approximately 25 per cent or 6.3 per cent year over year. If your assessment has increased more than the Town's overall average, you will have a property tax increase due to reassessment. The difference between the average Town increase of 25 per cent and the increase of 42 per cent from the example above is 17 per cent. The 17 per cent difference will be phased-in over the four year period 2017 to 2020, or approximately 4.25 per cent increase per year (excluding any budgetary related changes). Please note that all percentages are estimates.
