IMPORTANT PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
AN OPEN LETTER TO ALL PROPERTY OWNE
Ontario AND TENANTS IN THE TOWNSHIP OF TURNBERRY
Dear Sir or Madam:
The Township Council by means of a resolution dated November 20, 1979 requested an
equalized assessment roll for taxation in 1980. Your Council made request in response
to o need to make assessed values equitable with the assessment of similar real property
in the vicinity. •
Consequently, your assessment -notice shows your equalized assessment' as required
under Section 86(3) of The Assessment Act: Your 1980 taxes will be levied ori ibis assess-
ment.
The equalized assessment was calculated in the following manner:
1. The market value for each property was established for the year 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 fern, actually used for forming purposes
is the amount you might, as a farmer,expect to obtain if you sold to another farmer who
intends to use the land for farming purposes.
2. The market value of each property was adjusted by factor which has been calculated
to ensure that:
•
(a) There are no tax shifts from one class of property to another.
- The municipality does not suffer a loss in grants or an increase in shared cost appor-
...
tionments:
(c) The classes and perceritoge factors used in Turnberry Township are:
Residential 5.939 %
Commercicil 6.199%
Perm 9.499%
The assessment notice shows the following information for your assessment:
(a) The property class, under the heading "real property".
(b) The 1975. market value, under the heading "value".
(c) 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 percentage
:,factor.
The assessment roll will be returned to the municipal clerk on February 15, 1980. The last -
day on which you may lodge 0 complaint against your assessment „will be March 7, 1980.
Please read carefully the instructions with respect to lodging a complaint which appear
- on the bock 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 can
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 thaeostessors will be available at the following locations to discuss with
you all aspects of your assessmentand, if necessary, to provide Odditional information to
you..
Location — Bluevale Community Hall — Jan. 17, 1-.00 p.m. toc9:00 p.m.
Location — Regional Assessinent Office — Jan. 26 - Feb. 2, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
IMPORTANT -
If the equalized assessment hod been used for taxation in 1979, I estim`ate hot the resi-
dential mill rate would have been approximately 141,83 mills and thee ercial m111
t;
rote would hove been 162.31 mills.
The residential mill rate is applied against all property with 'a fax status of residential/
farm; the commercial rnill rate is applied to all property with a fax status of commercial.
To calculate your estimated 1980 taxes based on the equalized assessment, multiply the
assessment shown on your notice by the appropriate mill rate. 1
For example, a$3000 assessment multiplied by (the residential mill rate shown above)
would produce a tax of $425.49. This estimate Is based on the municipality's 1979 budget.
