Change of Address

Tax bills are sent to the last known address provided by the owner. Fill out this form, call or send by mail. You remain responsible for payment.

Ownership Changes

When a property is sold, the tax department needs a copy of the Registered Transfer to change the ownership on the tax roll. The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) also sends lists of ownership changes to the municipality bi-weekly.

Properties that have been severed or had a change to their legal description take longer to be processed by MPAC and so take longer to show on the tax roll.

Tax Certificates

Tax Certificates are issued when payment of $55.00 for each roll is received in the office. Make cheques payable to Municipality of Mississippi Mills, 3131 Old Perth Rd, PO Box 400, Almonte, ON K0A 1A0.

Property Tax Assessment

Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) is responsible for accurately assessing and classifying all properties in Ontario in compliance with the Assessment Act and Regulations set out by the Province of Ontario.

As a property owner in Ontario, your property taxes support a school system, even if you do not have children or your children are not currently attending school. The system your taxes support can be found on your Property Assessment Notice.
