Durham rape ain't gonna change since the multiplier (rate) is still the highest.

Also since we are on the topic, could someone help me out with how these increases actually affect tax payable?

On the one hand, my understanding was that tax payable is a simple calc: MPAC assessed value x tax rate (e.g. $200,000 * 1.5% = 3000 a year in prop tax).

So if in this new round of assessment, the value goes up 10%, then to me that would mean a new calc, 220k * 1.5% = 3300


However,

I keep reading about this thing that tax payable only goes up if your home's rate of increase is higher than the average increase of the neighbourhood. So if the whole hood went up 10%, and you went up 10%, then there should be no increase in the tax amount.

If this is true, how does this reconcile with the simple formula? What is adjusted to keep the tax the same?

See that's what I'm not getting.. say if MPAC doubled, the total effective municipal rate would have to be *reduced* (cut in half) to pay the same tax at the end of the day. There's no other way around it.

I am wondering if perhaps the actual assessed value determination itself is affected only by your *relative* increase

Aka your value went up 10%.. but so did the whole hood, so the assessed value stays the same as before.

But if the hood went up 10% and your house went up 20%, that's when your assessed value goes up in some proportion... and then you pay more tax.




Edit: http://torontoist.com/2014/01/everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know-about-property-taxes/

decent explanation in there

looks like municipalities set the budget first, then adjust the tax rate accordingly.. so theoretically if MPAC doubled, the municipal tax rate SHOULD decrease..........

I was just going to post, my initial thoughts were right, as per MPAC

 Quote:


Background


MPAC's role in processing municipal tax applications is to provide the municipality with the information it needs to enable municipal council to determine whether a tax refund, cancellation, reduction or increase is warranted.

As outlined in the Municipal Act, 2001, the jurisdiction to make decisions on applications for tax refunds or tax increases rests solely with municipal council.


So they can jack up the MPAC all they want, the tax payable will drop as a % of MPAC assessment (provided your city isn't one of the ones that rapes you). SO if it was 1% of MPAC value, now it will be .5% of it, etc.

Wayne, Markham wins again (lowest property tax increases in the GTA )

CN: OP article is click bait shit.

So this would seem to indicate that every person's tax rate is actually individualized to their particular property.

This would be the only mechanism to adjust for changes in relative value.

But seriously that's very nice. It's a trade off with Durham region. Cheaper houses but you're stuck with high property tax and free curry breeze

I know people out your way and the size of your house most are paying like 7k+.

The funny thing is everyone has said that, lol. It has tripled as when I moved in, in 2010 it was $15xx, but it was obvious they assessed it wrong.

They dropped it this year too

Can someone explain this to me at what point does one CHOOSE a house that expensive?

It's the rational behind it that I have trouble understanding. I'd say that most people that can clear the mortgage & property tax payments also have enough street smarts to spend the money on other things. What am I missing?

Say for this argument we skip foreign investors

Not sure I understand your question. You're curious as to why people buy a house that is what, a million dollars? You realize that $1M isn't much nowaday. I'm not downplaying it but even in sketchy areas small bungalows are $750k. Perhaps they want to move closer to work to lessen commute times and increase family time. Perhaps they want to move to a good area with good schools for their kids (kids are in school 14 years of their lives pre-secondary education). I'm saying this with the notion people have completed some sort of financial analysis and have deemed it financially viable.

Now if by saying "a house that expensive" you're referring to $2M, well its the same reason people were buying $1M homes 10 years ago.
