Caution! Does not apply if you're looking at houses in a specific price range.

It's true, Kitchener taxes tend to be lower. But the average house value assessment in Kitchener is also lower. Dollar for dollar of assessed value, you pay more in Kitchener.
That doesn't take into account other things like wastewater management fees and other costs, though.
