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 2 Manitoba municipalities in our data, not every municipality in the province.
What property tax costs on a typical Winnipeg home
Winnipeg's benchmark home price is $439,000 (2026-08). If the assessment matched that price, the tax would be $5,801 a year, $483.44 a month. With 10% down at 4.5% over 25 years, the mortgage on that home is $2,254.56 a month, so with heat and insurance the cost of owning it is about $2,988 a month. Property tax is 16% of that, a real part of the monthly cost and one that keeps rising after the mortgage is paid off.
Against rent, the tax alone is 31% of the $1,571 average two-bedroom apartment rent in Winnipeg. The rent vs buy page for Winnipeg runs the whole comparison, and the mortgage page shows the income needed to qualify.

Who sets the assessed value in Winnipeg
The value on your notice comes from the City of Winnipeg for Winnipeg, and Manitoba Assessment Services for every other municipality, every two years. For 2026 it reflects April 1, 2023 for the 2025 and 2026 tax years. Manitoba taxes a portion of the assessed value, 45% for a house, so the published rate is applied to less than the full assessment. The rate here already accounts for that. Winnipeg sets only the rate, when council passes the budget.
