A preliminary Mississauga budget shows residential property taxes going up 3.84 per cent, an increase of 0.94 per cent over the 2019 rate.

The proposed budget includes a 1.74 per cent increase for city services and an estimated 2.1 per cent more for Peel Region services, according to a release from the City of Mississauga.

In an email, Mississauga’s senior media adviser Catherine Monast said that property taxes for a $688,000 single-detached home would be going up $211.84 over last year. The city’s portion of the increase would be $96.36 with the region making up the other $115.47, she said.

The region’s proposed tax increase would be higher than previously forecasted. In its 2019 budget the Region of Peel projected a 1.8 per cent property tax increase for 2020.
