2026 residential rate by component
| Component | Type | Rate (per $100) | % of value | Share of total | On $500,000 | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| City of Moncton residential tax rate | Municipal | 1.3614 | 1.3614% | 100.0% | $6,807 | 1, 2 |
| Total | 1.3614 | 1.3614% | 100% | $6,807 |
2026 budget approved Nov. 6, 2025: rate unchanged at $1.3614 per $100. Former Moncton LSD unchanged at $0.9908 per $100 ($0.5793 City + $0.4115 Province). Non-residential rate $2.3144 per $100. City example: home assessed at $379,603 pays $379,603/100 x $1.3614 = $5,167 in 2026. 2026 was a provincial assessment-freeze year (City: 'a year of assessment freeze'). Rate is per $100 of assessed value, the City's residential rate only. The City's example formula is 'Assessed value of your property/100 x (municipal tax rate)'. Province of New Brunswick (s6, current GNB page checked 2026-10-28): 'The provincial tax rate is $0.5617 per $100 of assessed value.' A home lived in as the owner's primary residence gets the Residential Property Tax Credit, which 'reduces the provincial tax rate to $0 on the first 0.5 hectares of land around your home'. The provincial rate is therefore left out of this owner-occupied headline; non-owner-occupied residential property pays it on top of the City rate.

When Moncton property tax is due and how to look up your bill
2026 due dates
- May 31, 2026
The Province of New Brunswick (Department of Finance and Treasury Board), not the City, bills and collects property tax. One annual bill: 2026 property tax bills were sent to owners the week of March 2, 2026 (s11). For notices mailed in March, current-year taxes must be paid in full by May 31 to avoid penalty (s7, s8); some owners receive notices later, with updated payment dates on the notice (s7). Optional Equalized Payment Plan: 12 equal monthly withdrawals from a chequing account, March to February, no penalty and no administration fee; applications accepted until May 31 (s9, s11). The 2026-05-31 date is the province's stated rule applied to 2026; the date printed on each notice governs.
Late payment: 'A penalty rate of 0.7591% per month (or 9.50% annually) is applied to overdue taxes on the first day of each month' after the penalty date on the notice (usually 85 days after the notice is mailed) (s7).
Look up or pay your bill
Bills are mailed by the Province; the account is identified by the property account number (PAN) on the notice. Assessed values and area sale prices can be searched on Service New Brunswick's Property Assessment Online (paol.snb.ca) (s12). An online view of the tax bill itself is NOT VERIFIED (no official page found).

Your assessment in Moncton
How assessment works in New BrunswickAssessed by: Service New Brunswick (Property Assessment Services) assesses all property in the province (s6, s10). The City says: 'Each year the provincial government assesses the value of every property in the province' (s1).. Valuation date used for 2026 taxes: January 1, 2026.
Assessments show the value of the property as of January 1 each year (s6). For 2026 a one-year freeze applies: the value for taxation 'with some exceptions, remains at the 2025 level' (s10). To dispute the assessed value, file a free Request for Review online or by phone at 1-888-762-8600 within 30 days of the mailing date on the Property Assessment Notice (s12); the deadline for the 2026 taxation year was Feb. 18, 2026 (s10). The second level of appeal is the Assessment and Planning Appeal Tribunal (s12). Filing a review does not delay the payment due date on the tax bill (s12).
