The second bill reflects the final property taxes which are issued in June and reflect any budget changes approved by the Township, Region and Province The Township establishes a budget to provide municipal services and infrastructure. It calculates a municipal tax rate that will meet its funding needs The Region of Durham has a similar process, and the Province of Ontario creates an education tax rate. There are two components to property taxes: (i) Your property's Current Value Assessment (CVA) Which is determined by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC); and (ii) The total property tax rate.
