Except for Commercial, Industrial and Multi-Residentiat Realty Classes
Financial Implications: Adoption of the Recommendations and enacting the By-law
will allow the City to bill.the Final 2017 levy for all properties except for the industrial,
commercial and multi-residential tax classes, which will be dealt with later this year.
Passing of the By-law will assist the City of Pickering in meeting its financial obligations
and reducing any borrowing costs. This levy also raises taxes for the Region of Durham
and the School Boards.
Discussion: The 2017 final tax billing process will consist of two separate
components:
Residential and residential-related (farm, managed forest) properties; and,
2. Commercial, industrial and multi-residential realty classes.
Later this year, a report will be presented to Council asking for Council's approval to bill
the non-residential tax classes. The non-residential tax classes are subject to tax
capping and Pickering's staff, in conjunction with the other lower tier municipal tax staff
and the Region's finance staff, will be working on the tax capping calculations during the
next few months.
City's Net Tax Levy and Tax Rate Increase
The City's 2017 budget provided for an average property tax increase of 2.69% and was
adopted by Council through Finance Department Report FIN 04-17. The 2017 Council
approved budget levy of $60,120,868 plus assessment growth of $850,000 translates
into a total property tax levy of $60,970,868. The Region's tax increase for Pickering is
1.8% and the School Board increase is zero, resulting in a total average residential
increase of approximately 1.8%.
The property tax rates are calculated based on the budgets of both Pickering and
Durham Region. The tax rate itself is defined under section 306 of the Municipal Act and
it is to be calculated to eight decimal points. From 1998 to and including 2016 (19
years), Pickering has had the lowest residential property tax rates in Durham Region.
Tax Due Date Instalments
Recommendation 3 sets the due dates for the payment of residential taxes at June 28,
2017 and September 28, 2017. For your reference, the table below lists the tax
instalment due dates for the last three years.

Communication Strategy
In addition to mailing the tax bills, the City will advertise the tax instalment due dates on
the City's webpage, the Pickering News Advertiser and any other communication
channels deemed appropriate by the Director, Finance & Treasurer, prior to each tax due
date.
Other
Recommendations 2 and 3 provide for the levying of all tax rates on all classes of
property, except for the non-residential properties. For non-residential properties, the tax
rates will be set and the property taxes will be billed at a later date because the "claw
back" percentages have not yet been determined. Staff will bring a separate report to
Council for the non—residential billing in June. Staff's preliminary estimate for the final
non-residential tax due date is September 28, 2017.
Recommendation 4 provides for the levying of an annual tax for institutions designated
under section 323 of the Municipal Act. In the fall of 2013, the Ministry of Training,
Colleges & Universities implemented a new enrolment system for colleges which resulted
in the Durham College of Applied Arts and Technology being reported under the City of
Pickering. Each year the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing provides a listing of
institutions and their respective capacity figures as of December 31St of the prior year.
The Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities prescribes the amount to be levied for
each full-time student enrolled in the college. The institution is billed directly, and levies
are payable on or after July 1St each year. It is estimated that the gross billing under
recommendation 4 is approximately $9,750.
Changes to the Billing Schedule
Recommendation 5 will allow the Director, Finance & Treasurer some latitude, limited by
Provincial legislation, in effecting whatever changes may be necessary in order to ensure
that the taxes are billed properly and in a timely fashion. Recommendation 5 will be
used only if required to meet Provincial legislative requirements, such as the
requirements in subsection 343(1) of the Municipal Act that property owners must have
at least twenty-one days notice to pay their taxes. A further report to Council will be
prepared if there is any substantial change proposed to the billing of the final taxes.
