You still have time to appeal your 1987/88 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 1988 depends on it. The assessed value of your property is multiplied by the municipal and school mill rates to deter- mine your property taxes. Notices of Property Valuation were mailed to all property owners and tenants in the County. Open house informa- tion sessions were held in your area to give you the oppor- tunity to ask questions and correct any errors. The Assessment Roll was delivered to your municipality on June 10,1988 and will be used to calculate the taxes you will pay in 1988. You can review the Roll at your municipal office during regular business hours. If you believe your property has been improperly assessed and you have not yet registered an appeal, you still have until July 4, 1988 to mail or deliver your appeal to the Assess- ment Review Board. And remember, even if you did not receive a Notice of Property Valuation, you still have the right to appeal. Appeal deadline — July 4, 1988 The Assessment Review Board is an independent tri- bunal 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. In those parts of Ontario designated for French Lan- guage Services, you can appear before a bilingual (Eng- lish/French) Appeal Board. Please check the space provided on your appeal form if you wish to use this service.
