2026 Property Taxes

Aylmer’s published 2026 residential total tax rate is approximately 1.858367%. The actual tax bill depends on assessment, property class and any applicable local charges. Verify the current municipal rate and bill details directly with the Town.

Zoning & Land Use

Town zoning controls permitted uses, setbacks, lot coverage, parking, accessory structures and other development standards. Older urban lots can also involve site-specific exceptions or legal non-conforming situations.

Building Permits

Permits are typically required for new construction, additions, structural changes and many changes of use. Verify permit history before assuming a finished basement, addition or accessory structure was authorized.

Additional Residential Units

Additional residential units may be possible where provincial and local requirements are satisfied. Confirm the current Town rules for zoning, servicing, parking, building-code compliance and any property-specific restrictions.
