Property Assessment
The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) is charged with the responsibility of assessing the value of all properties in Ontario. The Province of Ontario sets the policies which relate to assessment and MPAC administers them.
Assessed values are then provided to municipalities, who then use these figures to determine your property taxes.
Residential property taxes are calculated using the assessed value, the town's tax rate, the County of Essex tax rate and an education tax rate set annually by the Province of Ontario annually.
For more information about your property assessment notice, your assessment value or about assessment in general, please contact the Regional Office for Windsor and Essex County.
