Tax rates

To determine the amount of taxes levied against a property, the Municipality multiplies the assessed value of a property by the approved tax rate. Taxes are collected on behalf of the County of Northumberland, the School Boards and the Municipality.

The 2017 Tax Rate By-law was adopted by Council on May 15, 2017.  Schedule A forms part of the by-law
