Belleville sets its own tax rate each year, and the Province of Ontario adds an education rate on top. Because of the 1998 amalgamation with Thurlow, the rate is different in five parts of Belleville — an urban home pays more than a rural one on the same value, because it gets more services.
The Current Value Assessment on your MPAC notice or your City tax bill. It reflects what your property was worth on January 1, 2016 — the last date Ontario reassessed.
If you qualify, one of these comes straight off your bill — but you have to apply to the City each year, by August 31. Tick one to see the effect.
