Updating Your School Support Information

As of January 1, 2024, the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) is no longer responsible for collecting voter information for municipal elections. However, MPAC is required to collect school support information.

Property owners in Ontario must designate support for a school system, even if they do not have children or if their children do not currently attend school. This designation appears on your Property Assessment Notice .

You can update your school support designation through MPAC's Online School Support Tool . To learn more about school support, visit the MPAC website .
