Understanding Tax Bills

EG issues two property tax bills each year, the interim bill and the final bill. These bills also include taxes collected on behalf of education (the Province) and York Region. These rates are set by the Province and York Region each year. To change your school support, please complete MPAC's Application for Direction of School Support form.

The interim tax bill is calculated based on 50% of the previous year's annual taxes. This bill is due in two installments the last business day in February and the last business day in April.

Supplementary Tax Bills

Supplementary tax bills are issued to property owners who have either improved their property by adding to the overall value of the lot or building, or new construction that has not been assessed by MPAC yet.

Once the construction permit has been completed, MPAC determines the new current value on the subject property based on the current valuation date. The change in assessed value (increase or decrease) is then billed to the current owner of the property based on the applicable tax rates. These bills are due in two installments, approximately one month later and the month thereafter.

A supplementary tax bill can be issued for the current plus two previous years to pick up any assessment that was omitted from the tax roll. These bills will be effective as of the permit completion date or occupancy date. It is possible to receive a supplementary bill for the previous three years of taxes.
