Two bodies set Mattice - Val Cote's rate: Mattice - Val Cote council and the Province of Ontario, for schools. Mattice - Val Cote has no county above it, so there is no county or region portion: its own rate of 1.77% already pays for services that a county would run elsewhere.

Each part of the rate, year by year

Over the same years the residential assessment base moved from $26M to $26M, and the residential levy collected went from $0M to $1M. A rate rising while the base also grows means the budget grew faster than property values; a rate falling while the base grows usually means the opposite. Assessment is the figure on the MPAC notice, still based on 2016 values province-wide.
