The Nation Municipality

1. Property Assessment

The value of your property, referred to as your assessment or assessed value, is determined by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC), an independent, not-for-profit corporation funded by all Ontario municipalities.  

2. Tax Rate

Taxes, also called “municipal taxes”, is the amount levied by the municipality on the properties within its territories.  Taxes per property is determined by multiplying the tax rate determined by Council with the property assessment, as determined by MPAC.

A portion of your property taxes collected by the Township goes towards supporting the school system. 

By default, your property taxes support your municipality’s English public school board. However, you may be able to change the school board that your taxes support.

The county rate is established by the United Counties of Prescott and Russell (UCPR). Taxes paid to the UCPR support regional social services.
