Confirmed residential mill rates for the Northwest Territories municipalities we track, how the province's assessment and tax-class system works, key dates, and how each city compares.
Property in the Northwest Territories is assessed under territorial legislation, with municipalities such as Yellowknife setting their own mill rates and the territory handling the General Taxation Area.
Confirmed residential mill rates, lowest to highest. The percentage is the rate as a share of assessed value. Linked cities have a full breakdown, 10-year trend, and a forward projection.

Rates with a year badge are confirmed for that year; others reflect the most recent confirmed bylaw, updated as municipalities finalize new rates.
