HCBE financial summary
‘good news, bad news’ situation
In presenting the 1989 financial
summary for the Huron County
Board of Education, Director of
Education Robert Allan informed
the trustees at the regular meeting
on Monday that it was a “good
news, bad news situation.”
“While it is unfortunate that
$461,731 was forwarded from the
1988 budget and the 1989 taxation
brought in $9,826,652 bringing the
revenue for the elementary level to
$27,888,272. The gross expendi
tures amounted to $28,047,240.
Thus a total of $158,968 will have to
be transferred from the reserve

WANT TO APPEAL
YOUR ASSESSMENT?
there will have to be money taken
from the reserves to meet the
actual expenditures for the year it
is less than we had anticipated at
last month’s meeting,” he said.
In the elementary school sum
mary the amount received from
provincial grants totalled
$17,380,533 which was a little
higher than the predicted amount
of $17,293,422. Revenue received
from tuitions and other sources
fund to balance.
On the secondary level, the
actual total amount of the expendi
tures was $23,572,214. Revenue
acquired from provincial grants,
tuitions, surplus from the previous
year and the 1989 taxes totalled
$23,359,874. This resulted in a
difference of $212,340 to be trans
ferred from reserves, bringing the
entire amount to be transferred to
$371,308.
You still have time to appeal your 1989 assessment if you
feel your home or business property has been improperly
assessed. Your assessment is important because the amount
of property tax you will pay in 1990 depends on it. The assessed
value of your property is multiplied by the municipal and
school mill rates to determine your property taxes.
Notices of Property Valuation were mailed to property
owners and tenants whose assessments have changed since last
year. Open house information sessions were held in your area
to give you the opportunity to ask questions and correct any
errors.
The Assessment Roll was delivered to your municipality on
February 27, 1990 and will be used to calculate the taxes you
will pay in 1990. You can review the Roll at your municipal
office during regular business hours. If you believe your prop
erty has been improperly assessed and you have not yet
registered an appeal, you still have until March 20, 1990 to
mail or deliver your appeal to the Assessment Review Board.
And remember, even if you did not receive a Notice of Prop
erty Valuation, you still have the right to appeal.
Appeal deadline: March 20, 1990
This deadline does not apply to the municipalities and localities
of: County of Kent
City of Chatham
The Assessment Review Board is an independent tribunal
under the jurisdiction of the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney
General. It is intended to provide you with an additional
opportunity to have your assessment reviewed if, in your
opinion, it is not fair and equitable with the assessment of
similar properties in your area. The Review Board is more
informal and relaxed than a regular court of law. You may
present your own case, retain a lawyer, or ask a relative or
friend to speak as your agent.
To help you in filing your appeal, Notice of Appeal forms
are available from the Assessment Review Board, your
Regional Assessment Office, or your municipal office. You
can also use the reverse side of a Notice of Property Valuation,
or write a letter giving the property address and roll number
along with your reasons for appealing. Appeals should be
forwarded to the Regional Registrar of the Assessment Review
Board at the address shown below.
If you appealed your previous assessment, it will be necessary
to lodge an appeal against your assessment with the Assessment
Review Board each year, if the appeal against your previous
assessment has not yet been settled, or your 1989 Notice of
Property Valuation does not reflect the most recent decision
of the Board.
In those parts of Ontario designated for French Language
Services, you can appear before a bilingual (English/French)
Appeal Board. Please check the space provided on your appeal
form if you wish to use this service.
