The City is part of a two-tier government, and as a result collects property taxes on behalf of not only the City, but also the Regional Municipality of Durham and the Province for local school boards.

For every dollar collected in 2023, the City kept only 41 cents; approximately 44 cents was allocated to the Region and 15 cents sent the Province for to local school boards.

This residential property tax receipt represents only the City's portion of property taxes collected.
