You still have time to appeal your 089 assessment if you feel your home or business property has been improperly assessed. Your assessment is important because the amount of property tax you will pay in 1990 depends on it. The assessed value of your property is multiplied by the municipal and school mill rates to determine your property taxes. Notices of Property Valuation were mailed to property owners and tenants whose assessments have changed since last year. Open house information sessions were held in your area to give you the opportunity to ask questions and correct any errors. The Assessment Roll was delivered to your municipality on February 27, 1990 and will be used to calculate the taxes you wi➢l pay in 1990. You can review the Roll at your municipal office during regular business hours. If you believe your prop- erty has been improperly assessed and you have not yet registered an appeal, you still have until March 20, 1990 to mail or deliver your appeal to the Assessment Review Board. And remember, even if you did not receive a Notice of Prop- erty Valuation, you still have the right to appeal. Appeal deadline: March 20, 1990 This deadline does not apply to the municipalities and localities of: County of Kent City of Chatham The Assessment Review Board is an independent tribunal under the jurisdiction of the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General. It is intended to provide you with an additional opportunity to have your assessment reviewed if, in your opinion, it is not fair and equitable with the assessment of 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. You can also use the reverse side of a Notice of Property Valuation, or write a letter giving the property address and roll number along with your reasons -for--appealing. Appeals should -be forwarded to the Regional Registrar of the Assessment Review Board at the address shown below. If you appealed your previous assessment, it will be necessary to lodge an appeal against your assessment with the Assessment Review Board each year, if the appeal against your previous assessment has not yet been settled, or your 1989 Notice of Property Valuation does not reflect the most recent decision of the Board. In those parts of Ontario designated for French Language Services, you can appear before a bilingual (English/French) Appeal Board. Please check the space provided on your appeal form if you wish to use this service. Ontario Ministry of Revenue Regional Registrar .

Tickets are $100 each, and not only give the purchaser the opportunity to win big, but also to enjoy a barbecue, dance and full day of entertainment on June 30.

"We did more normal fundraising - like dances, previously," commented Mr. Haney, " but you just can't make any money on them now." "You have to offer more unique type events other than dances." In addition to its "unique type" events the Seaforth Agricultural Society can also boast ownership of a 14 acre parcel of land which houses its fairgrounds, tie-ups for 200-300 head of cattle, pig and sheep barns and enclosed horse rings. It also houses a 60 by 154 foot steel clad show barn built in 1989. Already sei4iced with hydro, heat and water, that show barn will soon be in- sulated, and will be outfitted with washroom facilities and a lunch booth as soon as financing sees fit. It is available for rent. The Agricultural Society also owns the historic Round House which is located on the grounds of the Seaforth and District Community Centres. Last year the Agricultural Society planted 200 trees in an attempt to land- scape its fairgrounds, and says it plans to equal the effort again this year. It also had booths at the Canadian International Farm Show in Toronto, the International Plowing Match in Essex, and the Stratford Farm Show. "We've put Seaforth's name on the map," commented Mr. Haney. "And part of our plan for the future is to continue to work more towards getting the Town of Seaforth involved with the Agricultural Society, and special events. We're always interested in working with other groups," said Mr. Ribey, adding that the Agricultural Society works in conjunc- tion with the Van Egmond Foundation and Egmondvifle United Church during the Midwestern Ontario Show and Sale. "You don't have to be a farmer to be part of the Agricultural Society." The Seaforth Agricultural Society is run under the direction of 18 Board of Direc- tors, one secretary and one junior director. Lyle Haney is President of the Fair Board, Ross Ribey is Vice President, Betty Glan- ville is President of the Homecraft Divi- sion, Bonnie Glanville is Vice President of the Homecraft Division, and Sharon Flanagan is Secretary -Treasurer. The Agricultural Society estimates that .at least 10,000 people are attracted to the Town of Seaforth because of the special events it sponsors - 3,000 plus to the Home and Garden Show, 3,000 plus to the show and sale, and 4,000 plus to the fall fair.
