Belleville property tax

Residential/farm (RT) class, Belleville Urban area (Schedule B of By-law 2026-038 (passed April 13, 2026)) shown as the headline. Belleville is a single-tier city (separated from Hastings County; no upper-tier rate) that uses service area rating: every property pays the Core rate plus area-rated police, fire and (in urban areas) streetlighting levies, and only Belleville Urban pays the transit levy. The by-law publishes rates as decimal fractions of assessment (Belleville Urban: Core 0.01109757, Fire Urban 0.00232865, Police Urban 0.00441024, Transit 0.00084423, Streetlights Urban 0.00009243, education 0.00153000, total 0.02030312); shown here in percent by moving the decimal point two places, no rounding. Use the City's Tax Billing Table Map (https://portal.belleville.ca/gis/FindMyTaxTable/) to find a property's area. Education rate 0.00153000 (residential) is also set out in By-law 2026-040. 2026 interim bills were 50% of 2025 taxes (By-law 2025-187). Assessment is still based on January 1, 2016 values (MPAC).

Rates as published for the residential class. Bills can also include fixed charges, local improvement levies and utility fees that are not based on assessed value.

Belleville's total residential rate of 2.0303% is above the 1.4606% average of the 60 Ontario municipalities we cover. A lower rate does not always mean a lower bill: tax = assessed value × rate, so cities with high home values often have lower rates.
