Percentages of Value
Percentages of value are used to establish taxable assessments of properties based on the values determined by assessment appraisers. The assessed value multiplied by the percentage of value is a property's taxable assessment. The taxable assessment is then multiplied by a mill rate (first the municipal mill rate, second by the education mill rate) to determine the amount of property taxes.
The percentages of value as determined by the province are:
- Non-arable (range or pasture) land at 45%;
- Other (cultivated) agricultural land at 55%;
- Residential, multi-unit residential and seasonal residential at 80%.
