One of the carrying costs associated with homeownership in Brant County is your property tax. This tax is crucial in providing local residents with essential services, including garbage collection, fire protection and policing. Each year, the municipality determines its property tax rate - which typically falls in the range of 0.5 to 2.5%. To determine how much property tax you'll pay, the city will multiply that tax rate by your home's current market value - which can fluctuate year-to-year depending on the value of neighbouring properties. This is why it's not necessarily correct when Brant County homeowners assume that the bigger their house, the more they'll pay. Let's say your home's assessed market value is $600,000 and the municipality's property tax rate is 1% - that year you'd pay $6,000.
