Housing is the largest line in almost every Mississauga budget, and it is priced four different ways — monthly rent, a property tax bill set by ward, condo fees charged by the square foot, and a one-time stack of closing costs. These guides cover each of them with the city's own 2026 figures, whether you rent, own, or are working out which one you can afford.
