AN OPEN LETTER TO ALL PROPERTY OWNERS
Ontario AND TENANTS IN THE TOWNSHIP OF USBORNE
Dear Sir or Madam:
The Township Council by means of a resolution dated November 6, 1979 requested an equalized assessment
roll for taxation in 1980. Your Council made the request In response to a 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 on this assessment.
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 properly 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 farmer 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 tax 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 Usborne Township are:
Residential 5.664% Farm 7.997%
Commercial 6.885%
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 a complaint against your assessment will be March 7, 1980.
Pleabe 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 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 that
assessors will be available at the following locations to discuss with you all aspects of your assessment and, if
necessary, to provide additional information to you.
Location — South Huron Recreation Centre, Exeter — Jan. 14 & 16, 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Location — Regional Assessment Office — Jan, 26 Feb. 2, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
IMPORTANT
If the equalized assessment had been used for taxation In 1979, I estimate that the residential mill rate would
have been approximately 139.783 mills and the commercial mill rate would have been 159.748 mills.
The residential mill rate is applied against all property with a tax status of residential/farm; the commercial
mill rate is applied to all property with a tax status of commercial.
To calculate your estimated 1980 taxes based on the equalized assessment, multiply the assessm• ent shown
on your notice by the appropriate mill rate.
For example, a $3,000 assessment multiplied by (the residential mill rate shown above) would produce a tax of
$419.35. This estimate is based on the municipality's 1979 budget.
