Here’s when you might be able to apply for lower property taxes in Canada

Homeowners can potentially lower property taxes by appealing assessments if errors or unfair valuations exist. Common grounds for appeal include factual mistakes like incorrect property size or equity issues where assessed values don't match comparable homes. Appeals require supporting data and can lead to refunds ranging from a few percent to over 20%. Regularly reviewing tax assessments is advised, especially after property changes or sudden tax increases.
