In accordance with legislative requirements, City Council must annually adopt the following by-laws associated with property taxes: - the municipal levy; - the education levy; and - the clawback rates. These by-laws are required to enable the City to issue the final property tax bills for the year, for both municipal and school purposes. Following City Council's adoption of the 2025 municipal property tax rates at its meeting on February 11, 2025, this report sets the education levy and the claw-back rates. This report recommends adoption of the 2025 education tax rates and education property tax levy for school purposes, as required by legislation. The City of Toronto levies and collects education taxes on behalf of the Province of Ontario, based on the education tax rates set out in Ontario Regulation 400/98, as amended. The education property tax rates prescribed by the Province for 2025 remain unchanged from the previous year for all classes. Accordingly, the average household will see no increase in their education tax this year. In addition, this report addresses the requirements associated with the clawback rate for properties in the commercial, industrial, and multi-reside…

Every year, the City of Toronto follows Provincial legislation that requires raising development charges. This year, they are set to rise by 4 percent on May 1. The City has previously requested that the Province of Ontario amend the Development Charges Act and allow the City more flexibility when it comes to this annual indexing. This motion reiterates that request, and brings forward a workaround so we can freeze development charges. Canadian municipalities face challenges delivering the infrastructure people expect. Cities are responsible for an estimated 60 percent of public infrastructure yet receive only 9 percent of total revenue generated from all combined federal, provincial and municipal taxes and charges. Cities like Toronto apply development charges to cover a portion of the cost of infrastructure that enables housing development and creates communities people want to live in. Toronto’s $59 billion 10-Year Capital Plan includes $6.5 billion from development charges to support our growing city. This includes: $1.2 billion in funding for water, wastewater and sewer infrastructure; approximately $950 million towards road and intersection upgrades to enable developme…

In Fall 2024, City Council advanced the new Purpose-Built Rental Housing Incentives program, an important new initiative to unlock new rental supply and affordable rental housing. This program provides eligible projects with relief on property taxes and development charges to bring down the cost of building, and help new rental and affordable units break ground at a time when many are stalled due to economic conditions. There has been an overwhelmingly strong response to this program, far exceeding expectations and demonstrating the housing sector’s readiness to build. The City received a total of 75 applications in 21 wards across the city, representing over 32,600 purpose-built rental homes and over 7,400 affordable rental homes that are ready to break ground by the end of next year. In December 2024, City Council approved incentives for 17 applications in 12 wards across the city, representing 7,156 net new rental homes and 1,047 net new affordable rental homes, to be funded by the City. With provincial and federal government support, the City can move forward to unlock additional shovel-ready projects. In March 2025, the federal government indicated it has earmarked up t…

On June 26, 2024, City Council requested through item MM19.6 that the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation, and the General Manager, Transportation, in consultation with the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture review opportunities to name or rename an existing or planned location, such as a park, street, trail or other landmark in honour of the late Councillor Jaye Robinson. Parks and Recreation worked with Strategic Partnerships and consulted with the local Councillor to identify a parcel of land within Lawrence Park Ravine as an appropriate location to commemorate the life, long-standing public service, activism and lasting impact of the late Councillor Jaye Robinson.

This report responds to Item 2024.DM23.1, which requests the City Clerk to report on an approach to reducing the minimum age to vote in a neighbourhood poll from 18 to 16. In addition to lowering the minimum polling age, the City Clerk is proposing additional amendments to Municipal Code, Chapter 190, Polling and Notification to ease participation in the polling process and improve polling administration.

Transportation Services is continuing to manage congestion across the City of Toronto in light of a population growth that saw 125,756 more people in Toronto in just one year, a 26 percent increase in vehicle registrations since 2014 and being constrained by 5,600 kilometres of road network that hasn't expanded in decades. Additionally, Toronto continues to be the busiest city in all North America in terms of construction due to increased private development activity, major infrastructure renewal and the implementation of higher order transit and the City's traffic data shows that this continues to be the most exacerbating factor towards congestion in the City. A four-pronged, systems-based strategy is being recommended to address these challenges by integrating capital coordination, project delivery, procurement, and congestion management into a unified framework. Outlined in the following reports, this approach will be reviewed by [the respective Committees / Infrastructure and Environment Committee] in April and presented to City Council for consideration at its meeting on April 23-25. 1.
