Over the past 12 months, all properties in Ontario were assessed on a fair, consistent and up-to- date basis. The new Ontario Fair Assessment System requires that municipalities assist low-income senior and disabled homeowners and allows them to phase in any tax changes over a period of up to eight years. Your municipality will continue to be responsible for setting municipal property tax rates. During February, more than 3.8 million Notices of Property Assessment were mailed to individual property owners. If you have questions about your assessment, you can get the answers you need by calling the Assessment Information line at 1-800-827-1857, or by attending your local Community Assessment Information Session. Knowledgeable staff will be available to answer your questions and to explain how these new assessments are fair, consistent and up-to-date. Check the list you received with your Notice of Property Assessment, call toll-free, or visit the website for information about sessions in your area and about changes to Ontario's property assessment system.
