The Property Taxpayers Alliance (PTA) is a not-for-profit corporation formed to advocate on behalf of Ontario property taxpayers for the efficient and effective use of their hard-earned tax dollars. We talk directly with municipal and provincial decision makers and go public with cases of “municipal government waste, inefficiency, and tax dollar abuse”.

Inflation was running at 2.5% as of Sept 2024, while property tax increases by Ontario municipalities have ranged from 2 to 4 times this amount. Homeowners have been watching their property taxes rise at multiples of inflation for far too long, and there’s no end in sight!

Average annual property tax increases, taken on a percentage basis, can’t continue to exceed average annual household income increases. It’s simply not sustainable. Eventually, we will all lose our homes, starting with the most vulnerable.

Municipal councillors, city mandarins, and provincial MPP’s all know that property tax affordability is becoming a major issue, but they just keep kicking the can down the road, putting no plans in place to get spending under control. There is a desperate need for greater efficiency and effectiveness in Ontario municipal operations where budgets are ballooning with out-of-control salary, wage and benefit increases, and new discretionary spending programs that property taxpayers never even asked for.
