What is the property tax rate in Toronto?
0.7673% of assessed value for 2026. On the average selling price of $1,058,658 that is about $8,123 a year, or $677 a month.
Does property tax affect how much I can borrow?
Directly. Property tax is part of your gross debt service ratio, so a higher municipal rate cuts your maximum mortgage. At 0.767% a $1,058,658 home uses about $677 a month of your ratio room before you have paid a cent of mortgage. See what that does to your affordability →
Is a low rate the same as a low bill?
No, and Toronto is a good illustration. Surrey has the lowest rate in this group at 0.311% but a typical home of $936,004, so the bill is $2,909. Hamilton charges 1.497% on a $741,172 home for $11,096. Rate and assessment move in opposite directions.
Should I let my lender collect it?
On an insured mortgage you usually have no choice — the lender collects it with your payment and remits it. With 20% or more down most lenders will let you pay the municipality directly, which keeps the money in your account longer. Neither option changes what you owe.
