How Nunavut's assessment and property-tax system works, the local tax calendar, and how rates are structured. City-level rates for Nunavut are being added to the database.
Nunavut taxes property on an ad-valorem basis using a mill rate per property class. The Government of Nunavut sets a general and an education mill rate for the general taxation area each year, while the City of Iqaluit sets and bills its own rates.
We're adding Nunavut municipal rates (mill rates per $1,000 of assessed value). In the meantime you can estimate any property with the True Cost Calculator using your municipality's published rate.
Assessment and payment timing follows this general pattern in Nunavut.
| When | What happens |
|---|---|
| Each calendar year | Mill rates set — The minister sets a general mill rate per property class plus an education mill rate for the general taxation area; Iqaluit sets its own. |
| September | Tax notices issued — In the general taxation area, tax is levied and notices are sent at the end of September. |
| ~60 days after notice | Payment due — General-taxation-area property tax is due about 60 days from the notice date. |
| Varies | Iqaluit billing — The City of Iqaluit runs its own assessment, mill rates and billing; contact the city's finance department for dates. |
