Property Assessment Inquiries:

The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) analyzes real estate market information from similar types of property in your area to establish the Current Value Assessments. 

The Government of Ontario has made some changes to the property assessment system, which takes effect for the 2009 taxation year.  The Current Value Assessment valuation date has been updated to January 1, 2008 from January 1, 2005, and is effective for the 2009-2012 taxation years. 

The market increases between the 2005 CVA value and the 2008 CVA value will be phased-in over four years.  All market decreases will be applied immediately for the 2009 taxation year.  Every property owner in the Province of Ontario will have received an Assessment Notice this fall which will indicate the 4-year Phase-In values.

There have also been changes to the Request for Reconsideration (RFR) and Appeal processes for the 2009 tax year.  If you do not agree with the Current Value Assessment (CVA) of your property, you may appeal this value by filing an RFR (Request for Reconsideration) form until March 31^st of the taxation year.  Previously, the deadline date was December 31^st of the taxation year.  For specific details of your assessment, please contact MPAC at 1-866-296-6722.   General information regarding assessment values is available at www.mpac.ca.

If a property, or a portion of it, is classified as residential, farm or managed forest, it is mandatory to file a Request for Reconsideration (RFR) prior to filing an appeal with the Assessment Review Board (ARB).  Property owners have 90 days to file an appeal with the Assessment Review Board (ARB) after MPAC has notified them of its decision.  For all other property classifications, it is not mandatory to file a Request for Reconsideration (RFR) before filing an appeal with the Assessment Review Board (ARB).
