Lanark County Council has passed a by-law to set the 2026 tax ratios for the various property classes. Council also approved a by-law establishing the 2026 tax rates to be levied to local municipalities.
At the corporate services committee meeting earlier this month, CAO Kurt Greaves explained council is responsible for determining two tax areas: the levy, which is established in the budget, and tax ratios, which distribute tax burden between property classes. He noted the ratios are the same as in the previous year as the province has kept property reassessment on hold again.
Greaves outlined the residential tax rates by municipality along with median single family home assessment values and the associated municipal taxes based on current value assessment being held at 2016 values. The median Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) assessment for a single-family detached home in Lanark County is $287,000.
Council passed the 2026 budget in December with a levy of $47 million and a net tax increase of 2.4 per cent, which is collected through the towns and townships along with the education tax. The residential property class makes up 86 per cent of the taxes paid in Lanark County and has an assessed value of $9.5 billion. Total assessment of all classes is $10.7 billion. ...
