Annual taxes are calculated by multiplying the assessed value of your property by the Municipality's current consolidated tax rate. The consolidated tax rate is made up of a Township portion and a County portion (influenced by the respective budget requirements) and an Education portion which is set by the Province of Ontario. Through sound financial management, Selwyn boasts the lowest municipal property tax rate in the County of Peterborough. Interim Tax Notices are based on approximately 1/2 of the previous year's total tax levy. Interim Tax Notices are sent at the end of January, and Final Tax Notices are sent at the end of June. The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation determines the assessed value of each property. Included with your 2021 tax notices:
