Understanding Municipal Tax Rates

The County tax rate, as set by the County of Northumberland and the educational tax rate, set by the province of Ontario. The Town of Cobourg approved the 2025 municipal budget in December 2024. The 2025 budget includes a 5.23% net increase after allowing for new assessment growth of 2.32% and an infrastructure levy of 1.00%.

Property taxes are broken down into two installments for a total of four payments per year. The February and April tax bills are based on 50% of your previous years tax bill with no increase reflected.
