Show the math
Annual tax = assessed value × total residential rate. The rate is the sum of the municipal levy, the provincial or school education levy and any regional, transit or library levy that is charged on value, exactly as the city publishes it for 2026. Cities that publish mill rates (per $1,000) or rates per $100 of assessment are converted to a percentage. The assessed value comes from your province's assessment body, which is not the market value: Ontario still uses January 1, 2016 values, BC uses July 1 of the previous year, Alberta July 1 of the previous year, Quebec a three-year roll. The ranking compares the rates published by the 1 Newfoundland and Labrador municipalities in our data, not every municipality in the province.

Who sets the assessed value in St. John's
The value on your notice comes from the City of St. John's own Assessment Division, every two years. For 2026 it reflects January 1, 2024 for the 2026 and 2027 notices. Because the base date is two years before the tax year, a fast-moving market shows up late. The city's mill rate is set each year on the assessment in force. St. John's sets only the rate, when council passes the budget.
