Property Tax Calculator Canada
Same assessed value, nine mill rates. Winnipeg portions 45%. Vancouver looks cheap until the house is $1.2 million.
Applies each city’s current rate and portioning to the same assessed value.
Caution: assessed values are not comparable across provinces. Ontario assessments still reflect 2016 market values, Winnipeg taxes only 45% of value, and BC and Alberta reassess annually, so the same market-value home carries very different assessed values in each system. This chart answers “what would the bill be at the same assessed value,” not “which city is cheapest for the same house.”
Residential rates by city

Why rates differ so much between cities
A city’s tax rate is its budget divided by its assessment base, so cities with expensive homes (Vancouver, Toronto) post low rates while cities with cheaper homes need higher ones to fund similar services. That is why comparing rates alone is misleading: a 0.31% rate on a $1.2 million Vancouver home costs more than a 1.03% rate on a $400,000 Edmonton home. Assessment rules differ too. Ontario still bills on frozen 2016 MPAC values, Alberta and BC reassess every year, and Winnipeg taxes only 45% of market value.
