Tax Calculation involves the following:

Tax Residential Rate + Education Rate + OPP fee per property.

The Residential Tax Rate is the ONLY rate municipalities have control over BUT it is based on MPAC property assessments which municipalities have NO control over.
For the purpose of the calculation below, both tax rates (residential and education) have been combined to give you the result in the calculation below.
The OPP fee is a FLAT fee collected by the municipality for fees charged by the OPP. For 2022, this fee has been determined BY OPP to be $319.39 per property.
When taking into account the calculation below based on your property value, you MUST add the OPP fee to get the FULL amount payable to Markstay-Warren.

Example:

1. 1. MPAC Assessed Residential Property Value: $100,000;
  2. The calculator below gives the amount for Municipal and Education taxes which is $1,404.39;
  3. Taking into account the OPP flat fee per property of $319.39;
  4. The Total amount payable to Markstay-Warren is $1,404.39 + $319.39 = $1,723.78 for 2022 taxation.
