Why property tax payments matter
About one-third of every property tax dollar pays for 200 City services you rely on. This includes recreation programs, buses, libraries, spray pads, parks and roads maintenance, emergency response and more. The remaining two-thirds funds schools and regional services like housing, paramedics, police and public health. Learn more about the City’s Budget, including how much property taxes are collected and how it is spent.
Key dates and rebates
Property tax payment due dates are hard deadlines set by City Council. Even during events like a postal strike, you must still pay on time to avoid late fees. If you did not receive your bill, you can view it online on the View Property Tax Information section. You can see your installment amounts and account balances.
Tax rebates are available for low-income seniors (65+ years) and low-income persons with disabilities. To qualify, you must own your home, live in it for at least one year and meet other requirements. Apply by December 31 using the form on the Apply for a tax rebate page. More information about financial help for older adults is available online, including supports from the City, Region of Peel, provincial and federal governments.
Switch to convenience with automatic payments
Life gets busy. Keeping track of property tax bills, due dates and avoiding late fees can be a lot to manage. Try the Pre-authorized Tax Payment (PTP) plan for property taxes to be automatically withdrawn from your bank account. Payments can be made monthly or on regular installment due dates.
How does it work:
- To sign up for the PTP plan, fill out and submit the online form. You can also download the form and submit it with a void cheque by e-mail to tax@mississauga.ca or in person at the Civic Centre drop boxes either outside to the right of the north entrance on Princess Royal Drive or inside on the ground floor near the Welcome Desk.
- To be enrolled in the PTP plan, you must not have any overdue taxes.
- If you move, remove an owner or buy a new property, you will need to complete a new PTP application form and cancel the old PTP plan.
- To cancel your plan, simply notify the City, in writing, at least 15 business days before the next withdrawal.
- Enrolment, cancellation and changes to the PTP plan must be completed separately for each property that you own.
For questions about your property taxes please call 311 or email tax@mississauga.ca.
Peel Region’s interactive story map provides insight into the older adult population
BRAMPTON, ON (June 2, 2026) – Peel Region is proud to celebrate Seniors Month this June by recognizing older adults and the meaningful roles they play in the community.
This year’s Seniors Month theme is “Let’s Get Moving”, which promotes healthy aging for older adults across the province. Older adults can take steps to improve their health by getting active, eating healthy, and staying socially connected.
For more information and resources about this year’s Seniors Month theme, visit the Ontario government website.
Seniors in Peel
Peel’s older adult population is growing fast; in fact, seniors are the fastest growing age group in the region. Peel Region’s interactive Older Adult’s Story Map provides a comprehensive look into our diverse senior population, which already represent over 15% of Peel residents.
In order to meet the needs of our growing population, Peel Region continues to take bold, innovative steps to support healthy aging in line with our Seniors Services Strategic Plan.
Programs and services for seniors in Peel
Peel Region provides a range of integrated, specialized, and person-centred programs and services that support the well-being and quality of life of older adults and their caregivers:
- Long Term Care: Peel Region operates 5 municipally owned Long Term Care (LTC) Centres that provide compassionate, respectful, and emotion-based care to individuals and their caregivers. Peel Region LTC Centres were among the first in Ontario to adopt the Butterfly Approach, an emotion-based model of care.
- Adult Day Services: Adult Day Services (ADS) provide seniors with a place to go during the day to engage in activities and social interaction. ADS is offered at all Peel Region LTC Centres and at home through virtual programs. Peel Region’s ADS is the first community-based program in Canada to be certified under the Butterfly model.
- Seniors Health and Wellness Village (SHWV) at Peel Manor: The SHWV is a one-of-a-kind facility that combines a LTC Centre with a main-floor community service hub, which includes meeting rooms, green spaces, a hair salon, a café, and more.
- Community Access to Long-Term Care (CALTC)/Thrive: The Thrive Program supports seniors who are waiting for long-term care, are eligible now, or may soon need it. The goal is to help them live safely and comfortably at home for as long as possible.
- Respite care: Respite care offers short-term overnight stays for seniors that give their caregivers a break so they can attend to their own personal needs with the peace of mind that their loved ones are under the care of trained and compassionate staff.
- Community paramedics: Peel Regional Paramedic Services community paramedics provide in-home care and assessments within the community. They are skilled in managing long-term health conditions and addressing issues that affect older adults.
- TransHelp: Peel Region assists seniors and individuals with disabilities with door-to-door transportation. With our TransHelp fleet now at 65 buses, we continue to provide safe and reliable transportation for our elderly and at-risk population.
- Housing and social support: Peel Region programs offer financial assistance and help people access safe, stable housing and other community supports.

This summer, residents can borrow sports equipment for free at select Mississauga parks to stay active. It’s another way the City is keeping Mississauga affordable for everyone.
City services | June 4, 2026
The program is supported through funding from Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities (Jumpstart), a national charity focused on helping kids and youth access sport and play. In partnership with Equip Sport and local municipalities, Jumpstart is helping expand access to free sports equipment in public spaces across Canada. Mississauga joins a growing number of municipalities exploring the model to make sport and recreation more accessible close to home.
Select pilot park locations in Mississauga
To support equitable access, the City has selected locker locations to serve a wide range of communities and park users. Site selection considered accessibility and connectivity (including nearby transit and pedestrian routes), proximity to park amenities and opportunities to place lockers in higher-use areas where residents naturally gather to play. Units are designed to be easily relocated as needed to respond to changing park conditions or use. No additional costs for construction or adjustments to existing infrastructure are required.
Using the app and borrowing equipment
Residents access lockers through the Equip Sport mobile app. The app is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store and is compatible with iPhone and Android devices. Users must be 16 years old or older to access and return equipment. To set up an account, users provide basic information such their name and contact details (i.e. phone number and email address). There is no fee to download or use the app.
Users can report issues directly through the app. All theft, damage and repair costs are assumed by Equip Sport. If equipment is not returned, the email address associated with the session will no longer have access to the Equip Sport lockers.
Equipment is provided by Equip Sport sponsors and may include basketballs, soccer balls, volleyballs, discs and select fitness equipment. Available equipment will vary by location and is based on the amenities at each park.
The 12-month pilot program
The 12-month program will serve as a pilot and evaluation period to help guide future expansion, relocations or improvements based on community use. Equip Sport co-ordinates maintenance, equipment replacement and any required relocation through its local vendor.
The lockers will be installed at the following locations:
- Applewood Heights (A & B)
- Lake Aquitaine Park
- Century City Park basketball
- Courtneypark Athletic Fields basketball
- Daniels Community Field
- Erin Meadows basketball

Quotes
“Providing equitable access to sports equipment at our parks makes it easier for people to get outside, get moving and enjoy our green spaces. With programs like Equip Sport, we can remove barriers and help more residents stay active and participate in recreation that is close to home. We’re hopeful the pilot is a success in the parks where lockers are installed, so we can look at expanding it in the future.”– Raj Sheth, Commissioner, Community Services
“We’re excited to join other Canadian municipalities taking part in this program. Whether it’s kicking a soccer ball around with friends at a local field, playing a 3-on-3 basketball game with neighbours near home or getting a group together for volleyball, this program helps connect people to the equipment they need to be active. It supports our goals for inclusion and accessibility by helping reduce the cost barrier to equipment.” – Nadia Paladino, Director, Parks, Forestry & Environment
About Equip Sport
Equip Sport, founded in 2021, is a Swiss-founded company whose mission is to reduce barriers to physical activity by enabling shared, on-demand access to sports equipment in public spaces. Equipment is housed in secure lockers that are unlocked by users through a free mobile app and returned after use so others can borrow it. The program is powered by and managed through local partners.
Invasive species control using herbicide
Herbicide application to control Dog-Strangling Vine and Japanese Knotweed in natural areas will occur on various dates between June 8th – June 19th at Adamson Estate. Additionally, Lilly of the Valley, Common Burdock and Yellow Archangel will be treated between June 8th – June 19th at Cawthra Woods.
If any touch ups are needed the contractors will be returning between July 6th – July 17th.
Phragmites (Common Reed) treatment will also occur on various dates between July 27th – August 14th at Cawthra Woods and Park 510 (330 Indian Valley Trail).
If any touch ups are needed for phragmites control the contractors will be returning between September 8th – September 11th.
Contractors working on behalf of the City (Invasive Phragmites Control Centre) will be applying RoundUp WeatherPRO (Glyphosate) or Habitat Aqua (Imazapyr) directly to the plants using a handheld/backpack sprayer to minimize impacts to plants in the surrounding area. Habitat Aqua will only be used in wet areas and the City has obtained the proper permits to apply this herbicide.
Notification signs will be posted at all access points to the spray area at least 24 hours prior to treatment and will be removed no less than 48 hours after treatment. Timelines may be extended as needed depending on weather conditions.
This work supports the City’s Invasive Species Management Program and improves the health of natural areas across the City.
Get active this June and join the ParticipACTION Community Challenge to help Mississauga become the most active community in Canada.
City services | June 2, 2026
Even 30 minutes of activity each day, like walking, cycling, or swimming, can improve your physical and mental health. It can lower the risk of chronic diseases, support heart and brain health and boost your energy.
Why active living is important
In Canada, fewer than half of adults and just over half of children aged five to 11 meet recommended physical activity levels. The Canadian Health Measures Survey (2022–2024) found that only 46 per cent of adults and 52 per cent of children aged five to 11 meet the guideline of 150 minutes of physical activity per week.
That’s about 20 to 30 minutes a day, something that residents can build into their daily routine.
Mississauga’s Healthy City Strategy includes actions to improve health, equity and quality of life for all residents. In some Mississauga neighbourhoods, type 2 diabetes ranges from 13 to 16.9 per cent, higher than the Ontario average of 9.8 per cent.
With many events, activities and programs available this June and beyond, the City is helping residents stay active and connected. Let’s get healthier Mississauga!
Join the ParticipACTION Community Challenge
The ParticipACTION Community Challenge, funded by the Government of Canada and Novo Nordisk, is a national physical activity initiative that encourages everyone in Canada to get active throughout June. Residents can help Mississauga win the title of Canada’s Most Active Community.
Participating is easy. Schools, community organizations and informal groups of two or more people are encouraged to register for the 2026 Community Challenge anytime in June. Then get active and submit your activity time on the Community Leaderboard that will be available on the ParticipACTION website. Each time your group records an activity, you will be entered into a draw to win weekly prizes. Activities can include walks, runs, bike rides, swims and fitness workouts or classes. No matter the intensity or the activity, every way to stay fit and active counts.
In 2025, Mississauga was a finalist in the country. Help Mississauga get to the top this year!

The City of Mississauga shares outcomes, achievements, and next steps to foster inclusion and expand opportunities so all residents and employees feel a sense of belonging in their communities and workplace.
Business and innovation | June 2, 2026
The report details the key results and achievements from the past year to help build a more welcoming and representative community and workplace. It also outlines next steps and planned work for 2026 to further integrate equity into City services, policies, and processes.
The EDI progress report focuses on four key themes:
- Driving change across all City initiatives
- Supporting a culture of learning and development through training and tools
- Implementing EDI policies and governance activities to redesign City services
- Finding and removing systemic barriers through dedicated tools and resources
In 2025, the City achieved several important milestones, including:
- The launch of the first corporate EDI Strategy: “Empowering Change: A Comprehensive Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy (2026-2031).”
- The development and launch of the award-winning anti-hate and anti-discrimination public education campaign: “One Mississauga.”
Highlights from the report
The report also highlights key achievements, some of which include:
- Expanding Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) with the launch of a sixth group, the Women’s ERG, joining Indigenous, Black, Able, MiPride, and Diverse and Multicultural groups.
- Partnering with an EDI-focused executive recruitment firm to attract more diverse candidates and remove systemic barriers to leadership opportunities.
- Strengthening psychological health and safety in the workplace for diverse employees through an Employee Family and Assistance program and related mental health programming.
- Continuing to deliver EDI learning to employees across the City.
- Advancing accessible design and building of City facilities and public spaces that adhere to provincial and federal standards.

Looking ahead to 2026, the City has made a commitment to advancing numerous EDI priorities, including:
- Developing a new Equitable Engagement policy and framework for public engagement.
- Strengthening relations with Indigenous Nations across Turtle Island and preparing to host the prestigious National Elders Gathering in 2027.
Through this work, the City of Mississauga continues to build a community and workplace where everyone feels respected, safe, and included.
The City is unlocking up to 114,000 new homes near major transit station areas.
City building | June 2, 2026
To support this growth, Planning and Development Committee has approved the City’s plan to pre-zone lands in many of Mississauga’s major transit station areas. Over time, new development in these areas could support approximately 227,000 residents and 47,000 jobs.
Why pre-zoning lands makes sense
Pre-zoning sets clear rules upfront for what can be built in each area including building heights and density. It helps guide development in a way that creates more livable, connected communities that are in line with the City’s plans for growth. It also streamlines development processes by:
- Providing certainty and removing planning hurdles with clear, predictable guidelines for development along transit corridors.
- Speeding up approvals, allowing projects to move forward more quickly when they meet zoning requirements.
The pre-zoning amendments align with Mississauga Official Plan 2051, which was recently approved by the Province after extensive public consultation. It also supports recommendations from the Mayor’s Housing Task Force, including simplifying zoning rules and allowing more flexibility for building height and density around transit.
Where are major transit station areas?
A major transit station area – or MTSA – is a planning term established by the Province of Ontario. As Ontario continues to grow, the Province wants to ensure that cities like Mississauga are directing growth to MTSAs.
In Mississauga, an MTSA is the land within a 500-800 metre radius (approximately 10-minute walk) of a transit station or stop. In total, there are more than 50 MTSAs in Mississauga where higher-density, mixed-use development is encouraged. Through this project, the City is pre-zoning 35 MTSAs in locations that are expected to accommodate the most residential growth. The City’s online MTSA dashboard provides a map and more information for each MTSA.
Next steps
The proposed zoning amendments approved by Planning and Development Committee complete the City’s work to implement Major Transit Station Area policies. An implementing zoning by-law will come to a future City Council meeting for approval.
Quote
“We know people want to live in communities that are connected, convenient and close to transit. By pre-zoning lands in major transit station areas, we are creating clear, predictable rules that remove barriers, speed up approvals and make it easier to build complete communities. This approach will help us deliver more housing, support new jobs and ensure growth is thoughtfully planned along our transit corridors.”– Andrew Whittemore, Commissioner, Planning and Building
Expanding services, improving outcomes, and strengthening housing supply to drive progress amid affordability challenges
BRAMPTON, Ont., June 2, 2026 – Along with our federal and provincial partners, Peel Region invested $368.97 million in housing and homelessness supports in 2025, helping 43,717 households access emergency shelter, housing supports, financial assistance, and pathways to stable housing.
Despite record housing unaffordability and continued system pressure across Ontario, Peel Region expanded services, improved outcomes, and strengthened housing supply. Across the system, Peel focused on helping residents move quickly from crisis to stable housing, contributing to a 59 per cent increase in households served during this current term of council.
In 2025, Peel Region helped 7,487 new households get or keep affordable housing.
Peel’s integrated system connects prevention, emergency response, and long-term housing supports, with 84 per cent of households receiving stability-focused services that help people stay housed or return to stable housing as quickly as possible.
Key 2025 achievements
Emergency response and shelter services
- Peel served 8,152 individuals through emergency shelters across the system.
- Peel maintained high client satisfaction in shelters, with 81 per cent of the local homeless population in shelters reporting a positive experience.
- Shelter demand exceeded capacity, requiring 205 overflow hotel spaces, a 14 per cent increase from 2024.
- Despite increased demand, average shelter stays decreased. The average stay dropped from 81 to 44 days for families and from 61 to 53 days for single adults, reflecting investments in housing supports and portable subsidies.
Street outreach and coordinated access
- Peel Outreach served more than 600 individuals in 2025.
- Teams moved more than 260 people into shelter, with 51 moving directly from encampments into housing.
- Peel maintains a By-Name List of 2,185 homeless households – a real-time list of people experiencing homelessness which helps prioritize needs and connect people to housing support.
Housing supports and case management
- Housing supports help prevent homelessness and support housing stability during a period of rising costs and demand.
- Peel provided housing support and case management to 12,475 households, helping people find and keep stable housing.
- Most households (84 per cent) received subsidies or short-term financial supports to avoid eviction or secure housing.
Financial assistance
- The Housing Stability Fund and Homelessness Prevention Fund supported 6,068 households to prevent eviction or secure housing.
- Supporting people to stay housed is significantly more cost-effective than relying on emergency shelter.
Portable housing subsidies
- Peel supported 4,113 households through portable housing subsidies in 2025, including:
- 1,203 households supported through regional subsidies
- 2,910 households supported through the Canada-Ontario Housing Benefit
- These subsidies help make housing more affordable in the private market and prevent homelessness.
Building for the future
- Peel’s housing system includes 16,355 affordable housing units across the region.
- Peel Region advances housing development projects, with 1,314 units and shelter spaces currently under development.
- Projects include supportive, transitional, and community housing delivered by Peel Region, Peel Housing Corporation, and non-profit partners.
- Council’s long-term investment of $842.8 million in capital funding is helping expand Peel’s affordable housing supply and sustain future development.
Challenge ahead
Housing needs in Peel remain significant. Approximately 99,800 households are in core housing need, meaning they live in housing that is inadequate or unsuitable.
Peel’s system is currently meeting only 17 per cent of that need.
Another 37,060 households remain on the centralized wait list for affordable housing. Nearly half are families (48 per cent), highlighting the growing pressure on families in the region. Demand continues to outpace supply due to low turnover in community housing and limited new unit completions.
Continuous improvement
In 2025, Peel strengthened program oversight, data quality and reporting to ensure public funds deliver maximum impact.
Peel delivers housing and homelessness services in partnership with more than 50 community organizations, creating a coordinated and responsive system of care.
