Why did my municipal taxes increase more than 5.95%?

The amount of increase on the 2025 property tax bill (municipal component only) will be dependent on two elements:

• The increase in the assessed value of the property, and;
• The overall 5.95% property tax increase. Depending on individual circumstances, some properties may experience an increase more or less than 5.95%.

Generally speaking, if the assessment increase (2025 over 2024) is greater than 9.50%, the 2025 property tax increase will be more than 5.95%.

Conversely, if the assessment increase (2025 over 2024) is less than 9.50%, the 2025 property tax increase will be less than 5.95%.
