Property Taxes
The lower tier municipalities, such as the Township of Muskoka Lakes, collect all property taxes due from each property owner. This includes those taxes payable for the District of Muskoka and for the four school authorities serving our residents. The Township retains only a small portion of the total property taxes paid by the property owner for the provision of Township services.
