AN OPEN LETTER TO ALL PROPERTY OWNERS
°moo AND TENANTS IN THE TOWNSHIP OF MORRIS
Dear Sir or' 4adarn: ' • The'Township Council by means of a resolution .clated November 15, 1979 requested an equalized assessment'
l',01/fortaXation',I11-.1980:4'YoUr Council made the request in responseton need to 'make assessed values equitable,
with thff asseparpantotayritar real, property in the vicinity, - • - • - • • ; •
Consequently, your assessment notice showayour equalized assessment as required uncler.$actiOn88(3) of
The Assessment Act. Your 1980 taxes will be levied on this assessment.
The equalized,aiWeisme6t .,w4s .caiculated in the follow* manner ,,
1. The market, value for each property was. established- the Year 19751::
Ivtarket value is the amount You might nxPeCt to obtain for yOur property if 'yon'wthiriglY sold it .to a willing
buyer: The value of a farm actually used for farming purposes 'is the amount you :might, as a: farmer,
„ eipeCt. to obtain If you sold to another "farmer Who intends uee the land for farming purposes.'
2,v, The market value of each property yeas adjusted by a factor which' has- been calculated, to ensure that:
10,)Therilt .ara no tax shifts, from one class of property to another; , '
(b) The municipality does not 'suffer a loss in grants or an increase In shared cost apportionments.
(c) The classes and' percentage factors used in Morris Township are:
Residential 6.061% Farin 8:707%'
Commercial ,. ' 6.880%
The assessment notice shows' the following information for your assessment:
(a) The property•class, under the heading "real property".
(b) The 1975 market value, under the heading "value".
(c) The percentage factor applied, under the heading "factor".
(d) The assessment, under the heading "assessed value".
(e) The rate at which taxes will be levied, under the heading "tax 'status". . The assessment was calculated by multiplying the 1975 market value the percentage factdr.
The assessment roll will be returned to the municipal clerk on February 15, 1980. The last day on which you
may lodge a complaint against your assessment will be March 7, 1980.
'Please read carefully the instructions with respect to lodging a complaint which appear on the back of the
assessment notice.
In the meantime, I encourage you to discuss with an assessor any concern you may have with your
assessment. If you can show him any error prior to February 15, 1980, he can, correct the error and issue an
amended notice with the corrected information.
You may also wish to compare your assessment with the similar property in the vicinity. I have arranged that
assessors will be available at the following, locations to discuss with you all aspects of your assessment , and, if
necessary, to provide additional information to you.
Location — Brussels, Morris & Grey Arena & Community Centre— Jan. 14 & 15, 1'00 p.m.to 9'00 p m
Location — Regional Assessment Office — Jan. 26 - Feb. 2, 9:00 a.m, to 5:00 pm.
IMPORTANT
If the equalized assessment had been used.for taxation in 1979, I estimate that the residential mill rate would
have been approximately 120.34 mills and the commercial mill rate would have been 137.52 Mills.
\ The residential mill rate is applied against all property with a tax ,Status of residential/farm; the commercial
mill rate is applied to all property with a tax status of commercial.
To calculate your estimated 1980 taxes based on the equalized assessment, multiply the assessment shown
on your notice by the appropriate mill rate.
For example, a $3,000 assessment multiplied by (the residential mill rate shown above) would produce a tax of
$361..02. This estimate is based on the municipality's 1979 budget.
