Tax Rebates - Tax Exemptions

This data is retired and will no longer be updated. For more information, please see [here](https://www.toronto.ca/services-payments/property-taxes-utilities/property-tax/property-tax-water-solid-waste-relief-and-rebate-programs/property-tax-rebate-for-registered-charities/) or email propertytax@toronto.ca.

The City of Toronto grants rebates and exemptions to various organizations based on established programs enacted as municipal by-laws, or as provincially legislated statutes.

The rebates and exemptions are calculated based on property taxes levied on the "eligible portion" of a property: if a property address contains more than one organization or business, only the property taxes levied on the eligible portions of the property are used to determine the rebate amount or exemption percentage.

Please note the following exclusions to the information contained in the open data set:

  1. The information excludes rebates or exemptions where the property owner is an identifiable individual, in accordance with MFIPPA;
  2. The open data set will not include information on properties where a tax rebate or other property tax assistance is a requirement of, or mandated by and/or established through the City of Toronto Act, the Assessment Act, or other statute of general application. Examples are: 
    * the property is exempt from taxation under the Assessment Act or other statute;
    * property tax rebates for vacant units located within commercial/industrial properties as required under S. 331 of the City of Toronto Act, 2006.



Rebate programs have set rebate percentages on the eligible property portions:

  * Heritage Rebate - 40%
  * Charity Rebate - 40%
  * Veteran Clubhouse Rebate - 100%
  * Ethno-Cultural Centre Rebate - 100%



Municipal Capital Facility exemptions are based on 100% of the taxes payable on the eligible portions identified in the Municipal Capital Facility by-law.

Site specific tax exemptions established under provincial legislation provide for tax exemptions in accordance with the provisions of the statute and/or municipal by-laws.

To document the list of organizations receiving property tax rebates or exemptions from the City of Toronto for financial planning purposes.

Climate Perception Study

The City of Toronto commissioned Environics Research (2018) and Ipsos (2021) to conduct an online survey among a representative sample of Toronto residents to capture perceptions about climate change. The survey was also designed to gauge citizens’ willingness to take action in the community to help the City establish goals, priorities and metrics that will measure success in this area. 


**Methodology**
In 2018, a total of n=404 interviews were conducted online between October 11 to October 18, 2018 with adult residents (aged 18 years and over) living in the City of Toronto. The survey was 10 minutes in duration.

In 2021, a representative sample of n=1,400 Toronto residents 18 years of age and older have been surveyed online and by telephone. The sample includes:

* n=1000 respondents recruited from an online panel

* n=300 residents recruited by cell phone and landline phone

* n=100 in-language (Mandarin, Cantonese, Punjab) interviews conducted online.

Note:
 
The files labelled v1, v2, and v3 between years are identical, as they represent the same information, but presented differently. Every question included in the survey will present a list of possible responses to select, each with a unique numeric reference. V1 presents the survey responses in its raw, original format, including all qualitative responses selected. For ease of further analysis, V2 presents the survey responses in a quantitative format, using the numeric reference for each response selected per question.

Transportation Division Bridge Data

**This data set is retired. A new data set replaces at: [Bridge Structure](https://open.toronto.ca/dataset/bridge-structure/)**



The 'STRUCTURE' dataset contains City of Toronto (City) Transportation Service fully or partially owns 413 Bridges (including sub classifications as Road Bridge, Rail Bridge, and Pedestrian Bridge) and 510 Elevated Structures (including sub classifications as Gardiner Bents and Gardiner Ramp Bents). The attribute information associated with structures was retrieved from the City's Bridge Management System (BMS), which is maintained by the Engineering and Construction Services Division (ECS). Each structure has a unique identification number in BMS. Geographically a bridge location is represented using a Point feature captured close to the middle section of the physical structure. ECS staff verified geographic locations of Bridges using georeferenced ortho images, street centreline data, structure records, as well as conducted field visits where necessary to confirm their locations, and updated associated attributes information accordingly. Gardiner Bent structure locations were captured through a digitization process undertaken by ECS staff using georeferenced as-built image file. The 'Last Updated' date mentioned in this document indicates the date of extraction from BMS.

Flood Reporting Noted by Toronto Water Districts

**This dataset is no longer being maintained. Please see [Basement Flooding by Ward](https://open.toronto.ca/dataset/basement-flooding-by-ward/) for the latest update.**

Flooding calls received by Toronto Water District Operations.  
A Service Request is created based on the phone calls 311 and the location is investigated.

  
There are two types of service requests tracked using the following codes:

  
**SCBLK**  
Sanitary/Combined sanitary service line blockage is the customer service request for any kind of blockage relating to a property owner's sanitary/combined service line that is connected to our sanitary/combined sewer main. Typically, a resident is unaware of a blockage and contacts the City about their drain not draining normally, sewage backing up into their basement, and/or their basement flooded. Only upon inspection of a properly installed access point can the City determine the issue and what is blocking/preventing the sanitary/combined service line from flowing.

  
**STEVN**  
Created in 2013, as a result of the July 8, 2013 Storm Event, to differentiate a blockage in the sanitary/combined service line from basement flooding as a result of a significant rainfall event.

TransformTO Net Zero Strategy Public Consultation – Resident Survey

In response to City Council’s climate emergency declaration in 2019, the City is updating its TransformTO 
climate action strategy to meet an accelerated greenhouse gas emissions reduction target of net zero by 
2050 or sooner. This includes reaching a short-term target to reduce emissions by 65 per cent from 1990 
levels by 2030; a key milestone on the path to net zero.

From June 28 to August 4, 2021, the City of Toronto asked for feedback to help prioritize the short-term 
climate actions to meet our 2030 emissions reduction target. The consultation also asked residents to 
consider what these actions might look like in the community. More than 1,000 residents were engaged in 
this consultation. All this feedback has been compiled and summarized into a consultation report and will
inform the TransformTO Net Zero Strategy that will be presented to Toronto City Council in fall 2021.

Traffic Counts - Cycling

The City of Toronto's Transportation Services Division collects traffic volume data across the city from a variety of sources for a number of purposes. This data generally takes one of two forms:

__•	Automatic Traffic Recorder (ATR) Counts:__ Segment-level volumes reflecting the total volume on a specific street moving in a specific direction (e.g. the total number of cyclists observed on Queen Street, heading Eastbound, just west of Dufferin Street)

__•	Turning Movement Counts (TMCs):__ Movements observed at a specific intersection, typically indicating the total volume observed at each leg (i.e. North, South, East, or West) of the intersection and, if applicable, the observed turning movement by mode.

The data available in this repository are a curated collection of ATR counts across the City. These reflect the total cycling volumes observed at permanent and temporary counting stations.

The data are available in three separate files:

__•	Short Term:__ Total cyclist volumes at temporary count stations across the City, binned every 15 minutes.

__•	Permanent:__ Total cyclist volumes at permanent count stations across the City, binned every 15 minutes.

__•	Permanent - Daily:__ Total daily cyclist volumes at permanent count stations across the City, where a complete 24 hours of data are available.
