How property taxes are calculated

Property taxes are a combination of the Township's and the County of Lennox and Addington's tax levies and education tax levies.  The levies are calculated based on the value of your property and where it is in the Township (as transit services are area-rated) and the tax rate for the applicable class of property.

  1. Property Value. The value of your property is determined by MPAC – the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation. MPAC is an independent body established by the Ontario Property Assessment Corporation Act. If you disagree with the assessment of your property, you may file a Request for Reconsideration with MPAC.
  2. Education tax rate. This tax rate is set by the Province of Ontario.
  3. County tax rate. This tax rate is set by the County of Lennox and Addington and pays for services, such as social services; paramedics: hospitals; and libraries.
  4. Municipal tax rate. This tax rate is set by Loyalist Township and pays for services, such as waste management; public works and parks maintenance; recreational programs; fire and emergency management; planning and building inspection; capital infrastructure; and police.
