Bill 37: Fewer Floods, Safer Ontario Act, 2025

This bill primarily affects Ontario municipalities and their treasury/tax departments, which will need to include government-produced flood information materials with every property tax bill they send out. Municipal treasurers in cities, towns, and townships across Ontario — including the City of Toronto — will need to adjust their tax billing processes and mailings to incorporate the required flood awareness inserts, adding administrative and printing/mailing costs. Businesses that own property in Ontario will receive this information with their tax bills but face no direct operational obligations. The size of the municipality matters most here: smaller municipal offices with limited staff will feel the administrative burden more acutely than larger ones with established mailing infrastructure.
