Ontario ,AN OPEN L,ETTER TO ALL PROPERTY
OWNERS AND TENANTS IN THE
VILLA -GE OF BAYFIELD
Dear -Sir -or -A4adarri :
The Village CounCil bY. means of a resolution dated' November 19, 1979 requested an
equalized assessment roll -for taxation 1980. Your Council. made the request in
response.to a need to make assessed values equitable with the assessment of similar
real.properly in the vicinity. . — .
Consequently, your assessment notice shows your equalized assessment as
required under Section 86(3) of. The Assessment Act. Your 1980taxeS will be levied on
this assessment. •
The equalized assessment was calculated in thetollowing Manner: •• .
1. The market value for each property was established for the ye,r 1975. Market value
is the amount you might expect to obtain for your property if you willingly sold it to a
willing buyer. The market value Of a farm actually used for farming Purposes is the
amount you might, as a farmer, expect to obtain if you sold to another tariner who
intends to use the land for farming purposes.
2. The market value of each property was adjusted by a, factor which has been
calculated to ensure that: •
(a) There are no fax shifts from one class of property to another.
(b) The municipality does not -suffer a loss in grants or an, increase in shared -cost
apportionments. ,
(c) The classes and percentage factors used in Bayfield are:
Residential • 5.807 percent
Commercial 4.935 percent
Industrial
6.522 percent
Farm 9.168 percent
The assessment notice shows the following information for yo.Lir, asses,sment:
(a) The property class, under the heading "real property".
(b)The 1975 market value, under the heading_'_'_valu.e!'..
(e) The percentage factor applied, under the heading "factor".
(d) The assessment, under the heading "assessed value".
(e) The rate at which taxes will be levied, under the heading "tax status".
The assessment was calculated -by multiplying the 1975 market value by the per-
centage factor.
The assessment roll will be returned to the municipal clerk on February 15, 1980.
The last day on which you may lodge a complaint against your.assessment will be
March 7, 1980.
Please read carefully 'the instructions with respect to lodging a complaint which
appear on the back of the assessment notice.
In the meantime, I encourage you to discuss with an assessor,any concern you May.
have with your assessment. If you can show him any error prior to February 15, 1980, .
—.he cart correct the error and issue an amended notice with the corrected information.
You may'also wish to compare your assessment with the similar property in the
vicinity. I have arranged that assessors will be available at the following locations to
discuss with you all aspects of your assessment and, if necessary, to provide ad-
ditional information to you. •
Location - Bayfield Arena & Community Centre - Jan. 16, 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.n.
LOcation • Regional Assessment Office - Jan. 26 - Feb. 2, 9:00 a.m. to 5 :qo
IMPORTANT
frP
o
:„. . • . .
If the equalized assessment had been used for taxatibn in 1979; I estimate that the
residential mill rate would have been approximately 177.16 mills and the commercial
mill rate Would have been 209.93 mills. .
The residential mill rate is applied against all property with a fax Status of
residential -farm; the commercial mill rate is applied to all property with a tax status
• commercial. ,
To calculate your estimated 1980 taxes based on the equalized assessment, multiply
he assessment shown on your notice by the appropriate Mill rate.
or example, a 53,000 assessment multiplied by (the residential mill rate shown
a. .ve) would produce a tax of 5531.48. This estimate is based on the municipdlity's
T79 budget.
