WOWA has developed an Effective Property Tax Rate that describes the relationship between the market value of a property and its property tax. This is different from the official property tax rate based on the assessed value of a property, which can deviate significantly from the property’s market value.
The Effective Property Tax Rate allows you to estimate the property taxes of a home or residential property using just its fair market value. This allows Canadians to better understand and estimate property taxes when comparing properties.
We collected property tax and asking price data for 851 condo apartments in Toronto. Your property tax estimate is computed via a linear model fitted to this data.
Property taxes are the main source of revenue for municipalities. They are usually determined once a year near the second half of the year.
In Canada, the finances of municipalities are highly regulated by provincial governments and there are strict restrictions on borrowing. As a result, municipalities have to carefully balance their budgets according to the expenses they have for each year. One tool that they can use is their property tax rate. By deciding on the property tax rates later in the year, municipalities get more time to figure out how much additional (or less) revenue they need.
Interim property taxes, or property taxes for the first half of the year, are used by many municipalities throughout Canada. They are collected based on the property tax rates from the previous year. The amount paid for interim property taxes will be put towards the total property tax payment for the year. They allow cities to be able to collect tax revenue while deciding on their budget for the year and their final property tax rate.
If the final property tax rate is higher than the previous year’s tax rate, you will have to pay more for the second round of payments in the year to make up for the difference. Likewise, if the final property tax rate is lower than the previous year’s tax rate, you will pay less for the second round of payments in the year.
Most properties ranging from residential homes to farmland to industrial buildings are assessed regularly. Many factors can be taken into account during the assessment process. Market value is normally used to determine the assessed value for residential properties, while other factors like income generation and productive value can be used for commercial properties and farmland.
Each province has its own assessment authority that oversees and regulates property assessments. In Ontario, the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) is responsible for property assessments every four years. Similarly, in British Columbia, BC Assessment assesses properties province-wide every year, In Alberta, each municipality is responsible for their own property assessments but are regulated by the provincial Assessment Audit Unit.
