How Your Property Tax is Calculated:

To determine property tax, the taxable assessment is multiplied by the mill rates set each year.

The Education Mill Rate is established by the province. The city levies, collects, and then remits Education Property Taxes to the province - They are included on your property tax notice but are not kept for city use.

The Municipal Mill Rate is determined based on the annual budget, after considering all other sources of revenue.

General Base Tax - $675 (residential/multi-unit/agricultural)*
Commercial Base Tax - $975
Garbage/Recycling Fees - $235
Wastewater Treatment Levy - $75
Martensville Recreation Centre Levy - $150

*Vacant residential, multi-unit and agricultural lots are not charged Garbage/Recycling, and all other base tax levies are set at half.
