Assessed value, not market price. Ontario assessments still reference 2016 valuations, and the two places may sit at different distances from current market value — which is why a rate gap is not the same as a bill gap for comparable houses.
Both are lower-tier municipalities inside Frontenac County, so they pay the same upper-tier rate of 0.2120% and the entire difference comes from their own councils.
