Property taxes are paid by all property owners for community services such as schools, roads, infrastructure, maintenance and other costs of the local government.
Property tax rates are set by City Council each year and are determined by balancing the needs for programs and infrastructure in the community with the financial needs of the corporation. In addition to collecting property taxes for the City, Niagara Falls is responsible for the collection of regional and education taxes, although it is not responsible for setting the tax rates for the Region or the School Board.
There are four installment due dates per year.
The penalty rate for property taxes billed is 1.25%. In accordance with the Municipal Act of Ontario, a penalty is added on the first day of each month for any outstanding amounts.
You can change the mailing address for property taxes. Learn more on the Address Change and Lookup page.
