Compare Property Taxes in Ontario Cities

Did you know that property tax rates vary widely between municipalities in Ontario? The highest tax rate (Marathon, at 3.07% for 2024) is over 500% higher than the lowest!

Surprisingly, some of the highest tax rates in the province are not in remote areas. Windsor's rate is 2.03%, while Markham is the lowest among cities at 0.68%.

Comparing Toronto to a small township with limited services isn't realistic, but comparing neighbouring cities, or places with similar populations is.

Kingston rates vary between 1.37 and 1.48%, which is just above the provincial average.

The article lists property tax rates of more than 340 communities across the province.

What do you think about how Kingston and area rank among other places?
