Tax and Property Assessment Information
Assessment Rolls
The Assessment Roll is a list of properties and their valuations delivered annually to each municipal taxing authority during December. The Assessment Roll is considered a public document available for viewing by any interested party. The assessment roll provides the following information: owners name and address, legal description of the property and assessed value. Property information such as the legal description of the property and assessed value are available on line at www.mpac.ca. The current assessments rolls are available for viewing in the City Clerk’s Office at 70 Collier during regular working hours, Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Property Assessment
Information regarding property assessments/reassessments, details on a building such as square footage, deeds to be stamped and school support changes, can be obtained from the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation at 1-866-296-6722.
More information on Property Assessment can be accessed through the link on the Left.
Tax Bills for New Homes
Property owners who have moved into a new home will only receive a tax bill for the land portion of their property, until the assessment office determines the assessed value of your house (which may not occur until several months after you move in). Owners are responsible for property taxes from the occupancy date. A bill will be sent once the City of Barrie receives the assessment information on your home. If you wish to pay based on an estimated amount, it can be credited to your tax account and applied against the taxes once they are billed. Contact the tax office at 739-4230 to discuss this option further. (Alternatively you can wait for a bill but this will be due in one instalment only).
Tax Office
You can reach the City of Barrie tax office directly by calling 739-4230 during regular business hours (8:30 am - 4:30 pm Monday to Friday).
