Who sets the rate

Two bodies set St-Charles's rate: St-Charles council and the Province of Ontario, for schools. St-Charles has no county above it, so there is no county or region portion: its own rate of 1.43% already pays for services that a county would run elsewhere. That is also why comparing St-Charles's municipal rate directly against a township's understates what the township actually pays.

Each part of the rate, year by year

Over the same years the residential assessment base moved from $170M to $181M, and the residential levy collected went from $2M to $3M. 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.

Ontario has no official cost-of-living index for single towns. Statistics Canada’s consumer price index covers only Toronto, Ottawa and Thunder Bay here, and it measures change over time, not the gap between places. These are the costs published for each municipality: what renters paid and owners estimated in the 2021 Census, not today’s asking rents or sale prices.
