A school requisition is the amount of money municipalities must collect through property taxes on behalf of school boards to fund public education. The requisition appears on property tax bills as the education portion. Municipalities have no discretion over requisition amounts—they must collect and remit what school boards or provinces require. This creates the situation where municipalities collect taxes for an organization they don't control. In provinces where the province sets education tax rates, the 'requisition' is really a provincial tax collected through the property tax system. The requisition represents a significant portion of total property taxes, often 30-40% or more.
