Taxation Information

Annual taxes are calculated by multiplying the assessed value of your property by the Municipality's current tax rate.  

The tax rate is made up of a Township portion and a County portion (influenced by the respective budget requirements) and an Education portion which is set by the Province of Ontario .  

The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation determines the assessed value of each property.

Through sound financial management, Smith-Ennismore-Lakefield boasts the lowest municipal property tax rate in the County of Peterborough.
