School Support Designation
Do you know which school board you support? You can now view and update your school support designation through the online portal if you are a residential property owner or a tenant registered with the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC).
Property owners in Ontario are required to support a school board, even if they do not have children or their children are not currently attending school. In the case of a residential property occupied by tenants, the tenants can direct the school support for that property. By default, school support is directed to your municipality’s English Public School Board.
There are 4 different school support designations to choose from:
- English public
- French public
- English separate (Catholic)
- French separate (Catholic)
The MPAC is legislatively required to collect school support information and provide it in the assessment roll to every municipality and school board. By ensuring that you are supporting the school board of your choosing, you will be able to vote in the next municipal and school board election for trustees in that school board. Property owners, occupants, and tenants can update their school support designation online at mpac.ca/schoolsupport.
