City introduction
Mississauga is a lower-tier city in the Region of Peel, on the north shore of Lake Ontario in the heart of the Greater Toronto Area. The City describes itself as Canada's sixth largest city — a diverse, progressive municipality and a major business centre, home to tens of thousands of businesses, including the Canadian head offices or major divisional offices of more than 60 Fortune 500 companies. Together with Brampton and Caledon, it is one of the three local municipalities that make up Peel Region.

Housing property-tax historical trend
The trend uses one measure only: the City of Mississauga portion's contribution, in percentage points, to the increase in the total residential property tax bill, as the City states it in its adopted budget materials. 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.

| 2015 | 1.3% |
| 2016 | 1.6% |
| 2017 | 1.9% |
| 2018 | 1.58% |

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.
The City of Mississauga publishes its tax rates as a percentage of assessed value. The series below is the City's published total residential rate (City + Region of Peel + provincial education combined), from the City's official "2015 to 2020 Tax Rates" table; the per-$1,000 column is a direct unit conversion of the published rate (rate % × 10) and nothing else. No City-portion-only per-$1,000 series is recorded here, and no City-published rates for 2021–2026 are recorded.

Method
This trend uses one metric only, every year: the City of Mississauga portion's contribution, in percentage points, to the increase in the total residential property tax bill, as the City states it in its adopted budget materials.
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 Mississauga City portion's contribution to the total bill 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.
Tax rates per $1,000 are separate from the trend and are not charted.
