Post subject:  Property tax question

Hello,
We moved into the newly build home this August.
I just received the property assessed value from MPAC and the assessed value is around $180,000.

It is about 1/4 of our home purchase price. According. To this our property tax for tax year 2014 is about $1283. Pretty similar in year 2015.

I checked other number on our same street and looks all the new homes got that same from MPAC online search.

Is this try or a mistake? Anyone heard about this? This is unbelievably low.

Thanks

Your property value has yet to be assessed.

The value of $180k is the assessed land value.

Put some money aside for taxes, as once the property is assessed, you will most likely have to pay back taxes from your date of possession.

This is a good resource for new home owners.

When the full assessment is done, you'll get a hefty bill called a "Supplementary Tax Bill" which will be all the makeup charges dated back to when you took possession.

Since the Milton tax rate is just over 0.8%, and you paid nearly 700k for your home, AND the assessed value of new is usually about 15% behind the actual value, your safest best is to assume:

1) Your annual taxes are ACTUALLY closer to $4400-4700/year
2) You WILL have to pay this amount at some point
3) Instead of approx $100/month, you should be allocating about $400/month in your budget for this based on the numbers you provided.

Please remember, you WILL have to pay this anyway. When the Supplementary bill comes, it will be one BIG chunk , they will give you a couple of installments you can pay it in, but you can't avoid it :)


If you want to PM me the name of the model you bought, or the actual purchase price, I can give you closer estimates

Some previous discussions on it over the years and my responses...:


viewtopic.php?t=20193 (after the fact, from a guy got just got the bill for earlier years and wondered what happened)

Please tell all your neighbours this as well - nobody needs that kind of surprise down the road!
