Who sets the rate

Two bodies set Thornloe's rate: Thornloe council and the Province of Ontario, for schools. Thornloe has no county above it, so there is no county or region portion: its own rate of 1.69% already pays for services that a county would run elsewhere. That is also why comparing Thornloe'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 $5M to $5M, and the residential levy collected went from $0M to $0M. 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.

Why are Thornloe property taxes so high?

Thornloe's total rate of 1.84% is 0.44 percentage points above the provincial middle (1.40%). A rate that high usually means the assessment base is small relative to what the budget must cover: $4.9M of taxable residential value funds $90K in levy here.

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.
