Property Tax

Property taxes are the main source of revenue to provide services delivered by the Township of Stirling-Rawdon. They allow us to provide the important municipal programs and services you value and expect. Your yearly taxes are calculated based on tax rates, as approved by Council, multiplied by the assessed value of your property.
