The Property Tax Division is responsible for the billing of interim, final and supplementary property taxes;  the review and appeal of property assessment information received from the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC); and property tax policy.

If you have recently bought a new home or made any additions or improvements to your property, remember to make allowance for a Supplementary Tax Bill in your budget plans.

Loyalist Township collects property taxes on behalf of the Municipality, Lennox & Addington County, and the Province of Ontario (Education).  Each level of Government is responsible for its own tax rates.

Penalty and Interest Charges - A penalty of 1.25 percent (1.25%) is added to current tax arrears on the first day of default and again on the first day of each month thereafter until the end of the year.  Interest is added to prior year(s) tax arrears on the first day of the month calculated at 1.25 percent (1.25%) of the previous month's ending balance.  Payment is applied to interest and penalty charges first and then to taxes beginning with the oldest year first.

About your Property Assessment It is important to note that the Ontario Government has made a number of changes to the Request for Reconsideration (RfR) and Appeal process including changing the deadline for filing a RfR with the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC)  The deadline for filing a RfR with MPAC is March 31,2012 for the current tax year.
The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) is responsible for assessing all property in Ontario. It operates under the authority of the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation Act and is responsible for assessing property for every municipality in Ontario. The Corporation is governed by a Board of Directors who are appointed by the Minister of Finance. MPAC does not set assessment policy but it does administer these policies. Its main responsibility is to calculate assessment values and to classify properties according to their use, for each of the over four million properties in Ontario.
In November of 2011 property owners received assessment notices based on a January 1, 2012 valuation date using a 4 year phase-in program. (An assessment increase does not necessarily mean that your property taxes will increase.) These values are provided to municipalities on an annual assessment roll. The Township, County and the Province use these values when they calculate property taxes and education taxes.
