Property Taxes
Property taxes are the City of Pickering's main source of revenue in providing day to day services and programs to its residents. The tax rate reflects a percentage of the assessed value of your property.
A general rule of thumb for calculating property tax is to multiply your assessed value (or purchase price if recent) by the current tax rate. For example, if you paid $500,000 for your house, your taxes would be: $500,000 x 2024 Residential Tax Rate (0.01223903) = $6,119.52
The 2025 Interim Bills are due in 2 instalments: February 25, 2025 and April 25, 2025
Your residential tax bill is split up into 3 main components.
Property tax dollars fund various programs and services including:
- City:
Fire, recreation programs, libraries, road maintenance, parks, street lights and storm sewers. - Education:
The education tax rate is established by the Province. The local school boards are responsible for determining how school taxes are spent. - Region:
Police, maintenance of major roads, transit, waste management, social assistance, child care, social housing, homes for the aged, public health and ambulance.
