Speaker Nunziata addressed Council as follows:
I would like to take a moment on behalf of Council to acknowledge the Indigenous Peoples of all the lands that we are on today. We do this to reaffirm our commitment and responsibility in improving relationships between nations and to deepening our own understanding of Indigenous peoples and their cultures. It is a moment to reflect on the importance of this land, which we each call home.
We acknowledge the land we are meeting on is the traditional territory of many nations, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaties signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands.
Speaker Nunziata advised Council of the following:

5. City Council increase the tax rate reduction set out in Part 4 above, Column III, from 15 to 20 percent for the Small Business Property Tax Subclass of the Commercial Property Tax Class, effective for the 2026 taxation year, and direct that the incremental 5 percent reduction be funded through a 0.76 percent increase to the balance of the commercial property tax class, and direct the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer to make any necessary amendments to implement the 20 percent Small Business Subclass reduction for the 2026 taxation year.
6. City Council request the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer to initiate in 2026 a review of the eligibility criteria for inclusion in the Small Business Property Tax Subclass.
7. City Council adopt the following property tax capping polices for the 2026 taxation year, consistent with the 2025 taxation year:
a. limit tax increases for the commercial, industrial, and multi-residential property classes by capping taxes at 10 percent of the preceding year’s annualized taxes, by opting to have subsection 292(1), paragraph 1, of the City of Toronto Act, 2006, apply for the 2026 taxation year;
b. continue to provide that the 10 percent cap on tax increases apply to any property within the commercial, industrial and multi-residential classes, regardless of whether the property had reached full Current Value Assessment taxation levels in a prior year, subject to the threshold adopted in Part c. below; and
c. for the purposes of subsection 292(1), paragraphs 3 and 4 of the City of Toronto Act, 2006, adopt a threshold limit of $500 to determine the taxes for municipal and school purposes, such that properties that are within $500 (plus or minus) of their full Current Value Assessment level of taxation in the current year are taxed at full Current Value Assessment taxation levels for the year, and are therefore excluded from capping/claw-back provisions for that year.
8. City Council determine that:
a. the instalment dates for the 2026 final tax bills be set as follows:
i. the regular instalment dates be July 2, August 4, and September 1 of 2026;
ii. for taxpayers who are enrolled in the monthly pre-authorized property tax payment program, the instalment dates be July 15, August 17, September 15, October 15, November 16 and December 15 of 2026; and
iii. for taxpayers who are enrolled in the two-installment program, the final instalment date be July 2, 2026; and
b. the collection of taxes for 2026, other than those levied under the interim levy By-law 1336-2025, be authorized.
