complaint was with the
tax increase. In
Goderich,though, only 37'
appeals were • registered_
out of approximately
2,700 property owners.
In Most case „where
tax increases occur they
are in line with normal,
yearly increases. But, the
new system • has help to
alleviate some inequities
in the taxing system;
In Goderich, vacant
land was assessed at 2
per cent and.residential'
properties, 8'per cent.. A
vacant lot in town was
previously assessed at
$100 but that has risen to
$400 which would com-
pute into_ a Tax" bilt-o
around $100.
With regards " to" farm
property the value is
basically in the land and
Fagan stressed the new
method should show a
fair resemblance: There
will, however, be an
adjustment in
recreational • properties
that were being taxed on
a 1950 base.
Recreational
properties have risen in
value almost equal to
residential property and
in some cases the value is
higher.
Fagan said the new
system will be easy to
maintain and also makes
room for fair com-
parisons of property
anywhere. Since prices
all reflect 1975 market
values homeowners will
be able to compare their
'assessment ...with a
similar property.
Under the system., an
averagehome of $40,000
will face a tax bill of $773.
Ifyou think your
assessment is unfair fill
in the appeal section on
the right hand side of the
notice and mail it to the
regional office in London.
