"Ferrero chose Brantford for a number of key factors which included location to major Canadian and USA markets, positive logistics infrastructure to serve NAFTA markets, available and competitively priced serviced industrial land, and a co-operative pro-business city staff that could meet our project timelines."

Tax Rates

Each year, the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) prepares an assessment roll for every Ontario municipality. The roll provides the assessed value of all the properties in a municipality or in the jurisdiction of a school board with taxing authority. Realty Taxes are based on a percentage of the current value of your property as determined by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC). For example, an industrial property in the City of Brantford with an assessed value of $500,000, would be subject to a tax rate of 6.888245%, resulting in taxes of $34,441.23.
