The 2025 Budget is not just about numbers – it is a commitment to addressing the needs of our community and prioritizes long-term investments which benefit you and your families. Let’s break this down into simple terms using a home in Mississauga valued at $730,000 to show the anticipated tax bill increase for 2025:

The City’s portion of the tax bill in dollars = $224

Think of this as the money that goes directly to City services like parks, community centers, libraries and transit service.

The Region’s portion of the tax bill in dollars = $326

This covers broader Regional services in Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon like public health, police services, paramedics and housing services.

The Province’s portion of the tax bill in dollars: No increase.

This money goes into funding provincial services around education. There is no increase for 2025.

Simply add these amounts together to find out what the total tax bill increase will be. In this case, the 2025 tax bill increase on a home assessed at $730,000 in Mississauga will be: $550.
