30.7%

Approximately 30.7% compounded over four annual increases.

A tax bill subject to each of Mississauga's published overall residential property tax increases from 2023 through 2026 would be approximately 30.7% higher after compounding those annual increases.

Methodology: Calculated by compounding the published annual overall residential property tax increases (1.061 × 1.072 × 1.092 × 1.0521 ≈ 1.307). This is not a simple sum of the four percentages. Individual property tax bills may vary. The 2026 figure of 5.21% reflects the City's 2026 budget materials; the City's April 29, 2026 Council recap reports an average residential increase of approximately 5.2%.

VS.

BRAMPTON

38%

Under the current Peel Regional Police funding formula, Mississauga taxpayers fund approximately 62% of policing costs while Brampton funds approximately 38%.

The City of Mississauga has argued that the formula should be changed because it is based on property assessment values rather than population.

$104 million

The City estimates the difference between the current police funding formula and a population-based split will cost Mississauga taxpayers approximately $104 million in 2026.

  • The City identified an additional cost of approximately $93.7 million in 2025.
  • The City estimates the average Mississauga taxpayer pays roughly $120 a year as a result of the difference.

What We Believe

Put taxpayers first.

01

AFFORDABILITY

Families and seniors are already dealing with higher costs. Municipal decisions should consider the financial impact on the people paying the bills.

02

TRANSPARENCY

Residents should be able to clearly understand where public money is going and why.

03

ACCOUNTABILITY

Elected officials should be accountable for the decisions they make, the money they spend and the results taxpayers receive.

04

VALUE FOR MONEY

Good government isn't simply about spending less. It's about making sure public dollars are spent effectively and essential services are delivered well.

Pay attention.
Ask questions.
Look at the numbers.

Municipal elections determine who makes important decisions about taxes, spending and the services Mississauga residents rely on every day.

Before you vote, look at the record. Look at the numbers. Ask questions.

MISSISSAUGA TAXPAYERS DESERVE TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY.
