need support and assistance."

Reassessment changes intern tax i1I.
Most Goderich property owners. will
notice a change in their property taxes
when they receive their iriterrii tax bill this
year. The changes — a decrease for some,
an increase for others — arcdue not to a
change in the mill rate used for intern)
o'purposes„ but to a general r•eassessrnent of.
property in town, done by, the Regional
Property Assessment office and approved
by' Goderich Town Council under Section
63 of the Tax Assessment Act.
(ioderich Town Administrator harry
I',ilcC.:abe emphasizes the mill rate used for
intern) assessment purposes this year is
the same, 110 mills, as that used for the in-
let -in bilis last year. The final mill ratefor
1987 will be determined when the town's
budget is finalized, probably by mid-April.
Regional, Assessment Commissioner
Ron Moore said the reassessment was
done to bring taxable assessrwents of Pro-
perty market, value up to date. The
reassessment means a redistribution of ,
the total assessment and'tnarket value.of.
of property within' various categories. It
does not mean a general increase, he -
stressed.
"Some will •go up and some will go
down," said Moore„ adding that in many
cases in Goderich there will be little or no
change in the assessment value on some
individual 'properties..
. "If we started with $2 in taxable
ass5rnent (for •a •group of .properties,
within a category I. then we'll finish with $2.,
million," he explained. What takes place is
a "reapportioning of value." within that
category, he added.
For'every property which is assessed an
',increase, there will be a property or pro-
perties assessed ..a corresponding
decrease, explained Moore.
• The reassessment b'rinl,s property value
and assessment figures in line with a 1984
base year. The previous base year for
figures was 1975. '

WAN TO APPEAL
YOUR SSESSMENT`
You still have 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 rale 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 theamount 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, ybu still have until February 26, 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 — February 26, 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
Fiegional Assessment Office, or'your Municipal Office. As
well, you can use the reverse side' of a Notice of Assess-
ment or write a letter stating the property address and roll
number together with your reasons for appealing.
Appeals should be forwarded to the Regional Registrar of
th,e Assessment Review Board listed below.
