A municipal education requisition is the portion of property tax municipalities collect on behalf of school boards or provincial education systems. While municipalities send tax bills and collect payments, the education requisition flows to education authorities rather than funding municipal services. Requisition amounts are typically set by provincial governments or school boards, not municipal councils. This arrangement uses municipal tax collection infrastructure efficiently but can confuse property owners who may not distinguish between municipal and education portions of their bills. Some provinces have moved education funding entirely to provincial general revenues, eliminating education requisitions from property tax bills.
