Assessment of your land and buildings for taxation purposes is carried out by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) located in Hamilton. To learn more, you can visit the MPAC website or call them at 1-866-296-6722.

How is my tax calculated?

To calculate your annual taxes, multiply your MPAC assessment by your tax rate.

Property tax calculator

Use the tax calculator on the Niagara Region website to estimate the amount of property tax you will pay.

If you do not agree with your property value or tax class, you may file a Request for Reconsideration.
