You stilrhave time to appeal your 1986_assessment if you feel your home or business property has been improperly assessed. • Your assessment is important because the amount of property tax you pay depends on it, in that the assessed value of your property is multiplied by your municipal and school mill rate to determine your 1987 property taxes. Notices of Assessment have been mailed to property owners and. tenants whose assessments have changed since last year. Open houses have been held in your area to answer questions and amend assessment information if necessary. Open house dates and locations were announced in a previous advertisement. The Assessment Roll has now been delivered to your municipality for the purposes of calculating the amount of tax you must pay on your property in 1987. For informa- tion on your assessment, the Assessment Roll is now available for review at your Municipal Office during regu- lar business. hours. If you feel your property has been improperly assessed, and you have not yet made your appeal known, you still have until March 19, 1987 to deliver or mail an appeal to the Assessment Review Board. And remember, even if you did not receive a Notice of Assessment, you still have the right to appeal. Appeal deadline — March 19, 1987 The Assessment Review Board is an impartial body reporting to the Attorney, General of Ontario which pro- vides you with an additional opportunity to have your assessment reviewed if, in your opinion, it is not fair and equitable with 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.
