The Government of Ontario did recently announce that the land fees collected by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry will be increasing quite a bit over the next number of years but they will still be only a fraction of what most incorporated municipalities charge for property taxes.
Timmins has seen huge annual increases in property taxes over the last decade and many people are looking for cheaper alternatives. I believe Timmins has the highest property tax rate in the province. Some unorganized townships do have service boards (for example Foleyet or Gogama) but many don't so the fees are very low. But even with service boards the fees are much lower than living in Timmins.
