Calculating Property Tax
Understanding property tax calculations
The overall property tax revenue requirement for 2022 - meaning how much the District will need to raise from property taxes - increased 6.7% increase over 2021. This is offset by taxes that will be collected from new development.
The 2022 financial plan results, therefore, in an overall increase in the property tax revenue requirement of 3.76% from 2021 levels, to be shared among existing taxpayers.
The impact to each taxpayer varies. This depends on how much your property assessment changed in relation to other properties and property classes in your neighbourhood.

Property taxes (municipal) are calculated by dividing your property’s assessment by 1,000, and then multiplying it by the tax rate.
Example:
In 2021, single family homes had an average assessed value of $1,390,700. 2022 property taxes are:
- $1,390,700/1000 = 1,390.70 x 2.2928 = $3,188.60 in property taxes (municipal and library only).
