About MPAC
We are Ontario’s property market experts. Our job is to value and
classify over 5.6 million properties across the province and build an accurate property inventory.
We do this by analyzing the market through review of sales information, rental data and construction costs, reviewing property sales information, inspecting properties, supporting property owners, and responding to Requests for Reconsideration and assessment appeals.
The work MPAC does is an input for government programs, business decisions and property transactions.
Municipalities use MPAC assessments to power local investments in important services like emergency services, libraries, water and roads. Our data also helps identify property changes and market trends in Ontario’s communities to propel decisions about where and what to build for future generations.

MPAC Success Stories:
Our Record Year
Ontario’s property inventory continued to grow in 2023, with more than $42 billion in assessment from new builds and improvements to properties. This marks a record year for Ontario.
Residential homes, including condominiums, accounted for more than $31 billion of this increase, while commercial and industrial properties contributed more than $6 billion, which is an increase of 31.5 per cent from 2022.
The value of Ontario’s property inventory is now estimated to be approximately $3.14 trillion. These assessments generate approximately $30 billion in revenues each year to support municipalities and school boards.
