School Tax Rates

A single province-wide rate is set for each of the non-residential property classes. The non-residential rates will be set so that non-residential school tax revenue will increase by inflation, plus new construction.

The major industry property tax class rate will be set to be the same as the business class rate.

A separate residential tax rate is set for each school district. Under the rate setting policy that has been in place since 2003, average residential school property taxes before application of the Home Owner Grant will increase by the previous year’s provincial inflation rate.

Residential and non-residential school tax rates will be set when revised assessment roll data are available.
