    Your municipal property tax bill


    When you pay your municipal property tax bill, the funds are distributed to three agencies. Each of these agencies are responsible for delivering a distinct set of programs and services.

    • Local Area Municipality
    • Oxford County
    • Education (School boards)*


    Not included in your property tax bill are user fees and charges. These are special fees set by by-laws collected from residents that consume a particular service. Examples of these fees include bag tags, recreation, transit, water and wastewater to name a few.


    Each municipality has its own set of fees approved by its council. These revenues are used to offset specific costs (partially or completely) to receive a direct or personal benefit.

    Note: The Government of Ontario sets the education tax rates that are necessary to cover the cost of publicly funded education. In Oxford County, revenue collected is paid to one of the four local school boards as directed by the homeowner.
