Housing property-tax historical trend

The trend uses one measure only: the increase on the City of Brampton's portion of the property tax bill in the adopted budget, with dedicated special levies always stated separately and never added into it. Each row is the figure for that year on that one measure. A year with no verified figure on that measure is shown as No data.

Separate note — tax rates, not the trend

This note is separate from the trend above and is not part of it. A residential tax rate per $1,000 of assessed value can move even when the levy increase is small, because the assessment base changes. Rate figures are therefore not used as the trend and are not mixed into the increase chart.

No City-published residential rate-per-$1,000 series is recorded here. The City-published rate material captured is a bill decomposition, not a rate series: the approved 2018–2020 budget book splits the 2018 average residential bill (average home assessed at $471,000; total $4,857) into City of Brampton $2,221, Region of Peel $1,802, School Boards $793 and Hospital Levy $41. The City's 2026 adopted release also cites a City tax figure of $1,516 per capita (BMA Municipal Study, 2025) — a per-capita figure, not a per-$1,000 rate, and not used here.

Method

This trend uses one metric only, every year: the increase on the City of Brampton's portion of the property tax bill in the adopted budget, with dedicated special levies always stated separately and never added into it.

Where a city publishes an increase as components, the components are recorded in the scope notes; a total is used only where the city itself publishes it.

Canada inflation is Statistics Canada, Table 18-10-0005-01, CPI annual average. Canadian dollar Real CEER is Bank of Canada, Valet series CEER_BROADM, total index (1999=100); each value is the annual average of the 12 monthly total Real CEER values (a computed annual average, not a figure the Bank publishes directly as an annual value).

How to read this page

Bars are the Brampton City portion property tax increase. Lines are Canada inflation and Canadian dollar Real CEER.

The left axis is a percentage axis shared by the bars and the inflation line. The right axis is a separate index axis for Canadian dollar Real CEER only. CEER is an index and is not a percentage.

A year shown as “No data” has no bar for property tax and no line point for that series, and a missing year breaks a line. A verified 0% increase sits at the zero line and is marked “0% (verified)”.

Tax rates per $1,000 are separate from the trend and are not charted.
