Brampton Property Tax 2026 | 1.253381% Rate and Your Bill

Brampton’s residential property tax rate for 2026 is 1.253381% of a home’s assessed value, as set by the City’s tax levy by-law for the year. Put another way, each $1,000 of assessment costs $12.53 a year. The bill pays three governments at once: the City of Brampton, the Region of Peel (which also serves Mississauga and Caledon) and the province’s education system. How rate and assessment combine in general is on the property tax in Canada page.

Brampton property tax by assessed value

Each row multiplies an assessed value by the 2026 total rate; the monthly column spreads that over 12 months.

Use the assessed value printed on your MPAC notice. For 2026 it still reflects the market as of January 1, 2016, which is why it often differs from a recent sale price; appealing your property assessment explains how that value is set and how to question it. For a value or rate not shown here, the property tax calculator works out the bill.

Why Brampton’s rate is higher than Mississauga’s

Both cities are in Peel and pay the same provincial education rate, so the gap comes from the other two levies. The City of Brampton’s own rate, 0.537932%, is 36% higher than Mississauga’s 0.396141%, and even the Region of Peel’s rate on a Brampton home is 4% higher than the regional rate charged in Mississauga. Overall, Brampton’s total is 15% higher than Mississauga’s and 63% higher than Toronto’s 0.767311%.

Among the 6 GTA municipalities whose 2026 totals we store (Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Markham, Richmond Hill and Oshawa), Brampton’s rate is the second-highest. Comparing rates works across Ontario because every municipality taxes the same January 1, 2016 valuations. See Mississauga property tax and Toronto property tax for those cities’ breakdowns.

When Brampton property tax is due

Brampton bills residential owners twice a year, in three instalments each time. The interim bill, based on 50% of the previous year’s taxes, was due on February 18, March 18 and April 22, 2026. The final bill, which applies the new rate above, was due on July 22, August 19 and September 23. Owners on the monthly pre-authorized tax payment plan instead pay in six withdrawals per bill, on the 1st or 15th of each month. If your lender pays the tax from your mortgage payments, paying property taxes with your mortgage compares that with paying the City directly.

The tax levy by-law adds a 1.25% penalty on the first day an instalment is in default, and 1.25% interest on the first day of each calendar month while it stays unpaid, roughly 15% a year. Longer-term consequences, up to a tax sale, are covered in what happens if you don’t pay property tax.

Brampton’s rebate for low-income seniors and persons with disabilities

Brampton’s Property Tax Assistance Program credits $590 for the 2026 tax year to eligible owners’ tax accounts. It replaced the separate programs the City and the Region of Peel used to run, and since 2023 the amount rises each year with the Toronto Consumer Price Index. To qualify, the owner must be 65 or older and receive the Guaranteed Income Supplement, or have a disability and receive Ontario Disability Support Program benefits, and must have owned the home for at least a year; the home must be the principal residence of the owner or the owner’s spouse. Applications are made every year, by December 31 of the tax year. Relief offered by the provinces is summarised under property tax relief programs.
