WANT TO APPEAL
YOUR ASSESSMENT?
You still have time to appeal your 1985 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 1986 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
taxes you must pay on your property in 1986. 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 January 7, 1986 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—January 7, 1986
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. 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
the Assessment Review Board listed below,
