In 2025, Nairn and Hyman collected $754,382 in residential property taxes on $45,949,200 of taxable residential assessment. That works out to an effective rate of 1.642%, 0.285 points above the Ontario median of 1.357% for 2024. Among the 391 lower- and single-tier municipalities that filed for 2024, Nairn and Hyman ranks 276th lowest.

Municipal Regional / county Education
Understanding your Nairn and Hyman tax bill
Who sends the bill
Nairn and Hyman is a single-tier township: no county or regional government sits between it and the province, so Nairn and Hyman's council set the whole municipal levy of 1.489%, 91% of the 2025 rate, and the provincial education levy of 0.153% made up the other 9%. Nairn and Hyman's single municipal levy therefore funds services that are split between two governments in most of southern Ontario: policing, paramedics, social services, roads, water and wastewater, fire, parks and libraries.
How the rate compares
Among the 391 Ontario municipalities ranked for 2024, Nairn and Hyman's 1.585% is the 276th lowest, with about 29% of municipalities charging more. That is 0.228 points above the provincial median of 1.357%, or about $1,139 a year more on a $500,000 assessment. Against municipalities of similar population such as Dawson, James and Latchford, Nairn and Hyman's rate is in the middle of the group, which runs from 1.165% in Dawson to 3.530% in Pickle Lake.
What moved the rate
From 2016 to 2025 Nairn and Hyman's residential rate rose 0.089 points, from 1.553% to 1.642%, while residential taxes collected grew 16% and the taxable residential assessment base grew 9%. The levy outpaced assessment growth by 6 points over 9 years, so the rate did the work and a Nairn and Hyman 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 Nairn and Hyman's 1.642% is a 2016 figure, not today's price. The 2025 return works out to about $287,000 of taxable residential assessment per household in Nairn and Hyman, roughly $4,712 a year at 1.642%; a recent purchase price will usually be well above that assessed figure. Buying a home in Nairn and Hyman does not reset its assessment; MPAC changes it only for new construction, renovations, or a successful reconsideration or appeal.
Instalments
Nairn and Hyman bills the way most Ontario municipalities do: an interim bill with two instalments early in the year, then a final bill with two more once the 2025 rate was set. Nairn and Hyman's interim bill arrives before council approves the 2025 rate, so it is based on the previous year's taxes and may not exceed 50% of them.
Commercial versus residential
Commercial property in Nairn and Hyman paid 3.560% in 2025, 2.17 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 13.9% of Nairn and Hyman's taxable assessment but paid 30.0% 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 2025. Nairn and Hyman's latest return was updated 2026-07-29, and this page was last rebuilt from the data on October 30, 2026. See the methodology.
