Understanding your Alfred and Plantagenet tax bill
Who sends the bill
Alfred and Plantagenet is a lower-tier township in the United Counties of Prescott and Russell, so its residential bill has three parts: Alfred and Plantagenet's own levy of 0.751%, the county levy of 0.463% set by the United Counties of Prescott and Russell, and the provincial education levy of 0.153%. Of every $100 of residential tax in 2024, about $55 stayed with Alfred and Plantagenet, $34 went to the United Counties of Prescott and Russell and $11 went to school boards through the province. Alfred and Plantagenet's own share is the larger municipal piece here; the county levy typically pays for county roads, paramedics, social services and long-term care, while Alfred and Plantagenet's levy typically covers local roads, fire, water and sewer, waste collection and recreation.
How the rate compares
Among the 391 Ontario municipalities ranked for 2024, Alfred and Plantagenet's 1.366% is the 201st lowest, with about 49% of municipalities charging more. It is within 0.009 points of the provincial median of 1.357%, a gap worth about $46 a year on a $500,000 assessment. Within the United Counties of Prescott and Russell it ranks 5th lowest of 8, between Champlain at 1.322% and The Nation at 1.394%: on a $750,000 assessment that is about $332 more than Champlain and $210 less than The Nation.
What moved the rate
From 2016 to 2024 Alfred and Plantagenet's residential rate rose 0.149 points, from 1.217% to 1.366%, while residential taxes collected grew 37% and the taxable residential assessment base grew 22%. The levy outpaced assessment growth by 15 points over 8 years, so the rate did the work and a Alfred and Plantagenet owner whose assessment never changed still saw the bill rise.
Assessed value is a 2016 number
Ontario has not updated assessments since the 2016 valuation date, so the value behind Alfred and Plantagenet's 1.366% is a 2016 figure, not today's price. In the 2021 Census, owners in Alfred and Plantagenet put the median value of their home at $348,000, while the 2024 return works out to about $209,000 of taxable residential assessment per household. A buyer paying around $348,000 should not multiply it by 1.366%: that would suggest $4,755 a year, whereas at the average assessment the same rate gives about $2,856. Buying a home in Alfred and Plantagenet does not reset its assessment; MPAC changes it only for new construction, renovations, or a successful reconsideration or appeal.
Instalments
Alfred and Plantagenet reported 1 interim and 2 final instalments for 2024, fewer than the four most Ontario municipalities use. Alfred and Plantagenet's interim bill arrives before council approves the 2024 rate, so it is based on the previous year's taxes and may not exceed 50% of them.
Commercial versus residential
Commercial property in Alfred and Plantagenet paid 2.628% in 2024, 1.92 times the residential rate; part of the gap is the provincial business education tax, which is set higher than the residential education rate. Commercial and industrial property made up 4.3% of Alfred and Plantagenet's taxable assessment but paid 9.5% of all property taxes levied, so business carries a share of the levy well beyond its share of the base.

About these numbers
- What is an effective tax rate?
- Total property taxes billed to a class divided by that class's taxable assessment. It is the average rate actually paid, so it can differ slightly from the rate printed in the municipal by-law when a municipality applies different rates to subclasses, phase-ins or special area levies.
- Why is my bill different?
- Your bill depends on your own assessed value, any special area charges, capping or phase-in adjustments and local improvement charges. Use the rate here to compare municipalities, and your assessment notice to estimate your own bill.
- Where does the data come from?
- Every Ontario municipality files an audited Financial Information Return with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. These pages use Schedule 26A, "Taxation and Payments-in-Lieu Summary", for 2016 through 2024. Alfred and Plantagenet's latest return was updated 2026-05-06, and this page was last rebuilt from the data on October 30, 2026. See the methodology.
