Toronto homeowners face property tax hike after home values gain 22.8%

TORONTO — The average value of Toronto homes has risen 22.8% since 2008 and property taxes could rise as a result, according to the latest assessment by Ontario’s property appraisers.
The report released Friday by Ontario’s Municipal Property Assessment Corp. said property owners will see an average assessment increase of 5.5% in each year for the next four years as it phases in the increases.
“Residential property values have increased by an average of approximately 22.8% in the City of Toronto since 2008 when the last assessment update was delivered,” said Joe Regina, municipal relations account manager in MPAC’s Toronto office.
