Property taxes in Ontario are calculated by multiplying your property's assessed value — set by MPAC, the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation — by the tax rate set annually by your municipality. Rates vary significantly between cities. Flowers Team Real Estate provides exact current property tax figures for every listing we show our clients in Milton and across Halton Region.

The formula: Assessed Value × Municipal Tax Rate = Annual Property Tax.

Here is how major Ontario cities compare on residential property tax rates (approximate, as rates change annually):

• Milton — among the lower tax rates in the GTA region, reflecting a newer, growth-oriented municipality.
• Mississauga — moderate rates, typically higher than Milton on comparable assessed values.
• Toronto — among the lowest rates by percentage, but high absolute dollar amounts due to very high assessed values.
• Hamilton — typically one of the higher rates among major Ontario cities.

An important note: MPAC assessed values often lag behind current market values, which can mean your tax is calculated on a figure lower than what you paid. You can appeal your MPAC assessment through their Request for Reconsideration process if you believe it is incorrect.
