Property Taxes

The Town of Newmarket's primary funding source is property tax which is divided between the Town of Newmarket, York Region and the school boards. Property taxes enable the Town to provide the high quality of municipal programs and services that Newmarket residents are accustomed to. 

Property Tax Due Dates

Final property tax bills for residential and non-residential properties will be mailed out in June 2024. 

The final bill for your 2024 property taxes (residential and non-residential) will be mailed out in June and will be due on: 

  • Friday, July 26, 2024
  • Monday, August 26, 2024
  • Thursay, September 26, 2024  

New for this year! Non-residential and residential final property taxes will be due at the same time in three instalments in July, August and September. Previously, non-residential property taxes were due on different dates. This change was done to help improve consistency, equity and administrative efficiency.

The Town of Newmarket determines your property taxes by multiplying your current value assessment (determined by the MPAC) by the Town's tax rate, the Region of York's tax rate and the provincial education tax rate.

If you have questions about your property assessment please contact the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC).

Supplementary/Omitted Tax Billings

Property Assessment Change Notices are issued for additional assessment (such as swimming pools, decks or other additions), new homes or property class changes. The property tax dollars associated with the changes are retroactive to the date of occupancy / purchase, or when the renovation or alterations were completed.

Please note the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) assesses your property for the additional assessment, a new home or a property class change which could take up to three years to occur.

The Town issues your supplementary/omitted tax bill(s) and payments are typically due in two instalments. Depending on the determined assessment, the additional property taxes may be in the thousands of dollars. The Town may be able to assist in preparation for the imminent supplementary/omitted tax bill(s) to minimize the impact of this bill. Please contact the Customer Service Department for additional information and assistance.
