General information to taxpayers


2010-2011 School tax calculation
School taxes are calculated using the Standardized Assessment (municipal evaluation multiplied by the standardized factor) of properties as required by section 310 of the Education Act. Municipal evaluations are obtained from the municipal rolls and appear on your municipal tax bills.

In order to reduce the impact of the increase in property evaluations on school taxes, school boards are now able to average increases over the same period as municipalities, that is to say 3 or 4 years.

In addition, a school board is now able to limit increases in school taxes to the average increase in its expenses. The calculation will be done each year based on a rate that will vary from one municipality to another according to the municipal evaluations in effect and will appear as a reduction on the tax bill.

The school tax will be payable in two equal amounts if it is equal to or greater than $300, the first payment on the 31st day following the mailing of the tax bill (August 13, 2010) and the second on the 121st day following the mailing of the tax bill (November 8, 2010).


Pertinent sections of the education act
Section 310: The tax base of the school board is the standardized assessment of taxable immovables.
Section 315 & 316: School taxes are payable 31 days from the mailing of the tax bill. The current portion of school taxes in amounts equal to or greater than $300.00 are payable in two equal payments. If the first payment is not received by the due date, the entire amount becomes due immediately and incurs interest.
Section 317: No school board may waive the payment of school taxes or interest.
Section 325 and following: Recovery of school taxes.


Definitions
Standardization factor: Figure provided to the municipalities by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs which determines the level of the municipal roll as a whole compared to actual value.
School tax rate: Rate allowed by the Ministère de l'Éducation, du Loisir et du Sport for the funding of part of the school board's operating budget.
Standardized Assessment: Municipal valuation multiplied by the standardization factor.


Change of ownership
The new owner must pay this bill before the due date even if it is addressed to the previous owner in order to avoid paying interest charges. If you are not the owner of the immoveable for which this bill has been issued, please forward this bill to the new owner or return it to us.


Taxpayers to an English school board
a) Parents with a child (or children) attending a school (or schools) of the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board must pay the taxes to the school board;
b) Taxpayers who choose to be on the voting list of the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board must pay taxes to the school board (a form has to be completed to register on the voting list); or
c) Non-residents who chose to pay to the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board in 2009/2010 or prior to April 1, 2010.

Choice for school tax purposes

A property owner whose children have been admitted to the educational services of a school board having jurisdiction over the territory where the property is located MUST pay school taxes to that school board. When the children of a property owner are admitted to the educational services of the two school boards having jurisdiction over the territory where the property is located, the payment of taxes to each board is proportional to the number of children admitted to the educational services of each board.

By virtue of the Education Act, a property owner who does not have children admitted to the educational services of a school board having jurisdiction over the territory where the property is located may pay school taxes to the school board of his/her choice. Such choice takes effect the following school year and must be done by April 1 of each year.
