If you believe that your assessment is incorrect, you should first contact the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC - www.mpac.ca
) to discuss your assessment or verify details about your property.
Request for Reconsideration (RfR)
Property owners may ask MPAC to conduct a review of their assessment through the Request for Reconsideration process. There is no charge for requesting reconsideration, the deadline to submit a request for reconsideration for the 2012 tax year is March 31, 2012.
Residential, Farm Or Managed Forest Property Owners Must First Submit a Request for Reconsideration (RfR) with the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) by March 31, 2012. MPAC will render its decision by September 30, 2012 (or November 30th if both parties agree to the extension).
If residential, farm or managed forest property owners are not satisfied with MPAC's decision on their RfR, they may file an appeal to the Assessment Review Board (ARB). This must be done within 90 days of receiving MPAC's decision.
For Commercial, Industrial and Multi-Residential Properties Owners can either file an Request for Reconsideration (RfR) with MPAC or appeal directly to the ARB – either must be done by March 31, 2012.
To file an appeal with the ARB send a written request to the Assessment Review Board, 655 Bay Street, Suite 1500, Toronto, ON, M5G-1E5. A fee of $75 for residential/farm or $150 for commercial/industrial properties must accompany your appeal. For further information, please contact the ARB at 416-314-6900 or toll free 1-800-263-3237, or via the Internet at www.arb.gov.on.ca. 
Full details on how to appeal your assessment to the ARB may be obtained through their web site www.arb.gov.on.ca.
A tax account is only adjusted when the Town is notified of the change in assessment by MPAC or the ARB. It is recommended that taxes continue to be paid while an appeal or reconsideration is underway to avoid penalty and interest charges in the event that the appeal or reconsideration is not successful.
There may be a significant delay between the time an assessment is appealed and a decision is rendered.
