Tax Rates

Tax and assessment rates vary from municipality to municipality. Please see the Taxes and Assessment page within this website under Govern. Assessments & Taxation and the links below. Upper and single tier municipalities are responsible for making tax policy decisions that are sensitive to local needs and priorities on an annual basis.

Within the Counties of Leeds and Grenville the responsibility of setting tax policy has been done in a cooperative approach between the ten local municipal treasurers and Counties staff. Counties council, in turn, has been responsive to the recommendations made and has been proactive in the vision of creating a competitive economic environment in Leeds and Grenville for all property classes.

Once the Counties levy requirements have been determined for the current year, tax rates are calculated for each of the property tax classes (such as residential, industrial, commercial, etc.). In addition to the Counties establishing tax rates for Counties purposes, the Province establishes school board tax rates and each of the local municipalities in Leeds and Grenville establish tax rates for their own purpose.
