Malpeque Bay Holds the Lowest Municipal Tax Rate in PEI
May 12, 2026

Council is pleased to confirm that the municipal tax rate for the year remains 8.5 cents per $100 of assessed value, the lowest municipal rate on Prince Edward Island. Careful stewardship of municipal resources, a strong volunteer base, and a diverse local economy built on farming, fishing, and tourism allow the municipality to keep costs low while maintaining halls, roads, and emergency services across all seven communities. Property tax questions can be directed to the municipal office.
