The page does not print the year. They are 2026 rates: Halton Region By-law No. 20-26 (2026 final levy, passed April 15, 2026, s12) sets the Milton residential Regional combined rate at 0.00331302 and the Milton URBAN residential Enhanced Waste rate at 0.00001556, both identical to this table, and the Town rate is 6.94% above the 2025 Town rate (0.00354678), matching the Town's statement that its 2026 residential portion rises 6.94 per cent (s7). The Town's own 2026 levy by-law (report ES-021-26, Council May 11, 2026) could not be opened (calendar.milton.ca HTTP 403, no Wayback copy), so the Town rate 0.00379288 rests on the Town rates page only.

Milton's total residential rate of 0.8651% is below 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.
