In the fight for the dubious distinction of who pays the most Ottawa property taxes, Somerset ward in the city's downtown takes the crown.
·In 2023, Somerset ward was billed by far the most property tax of any ward in Ottawa.
The undisputed top dog, shown in deep crimson in the map above, is Somerset ward. The downtown ward — bounded by the Ottawa River, Highway 417, the Trillium Line and the Rideau Canal — was billed the most total property taxes by a wide margin in 2023. At the far end of the spectrum, the largely rural West Carleton-March registered a comparatively paltry $41,848,481.
Because the ward contains the city's central business district, much of its property taxes are paid by commercial entities, which are taxed at nearly twice the rate as residential properties.
