CURRENT
VALUE ASSESSMENT |
|
Frequently
Asked Questions
Q: What is Current Value Assessment (CVA)?
A: In 1998, the Province of Ontario reformed the property assessment
legislation in Ontario with the implementation of Current Value
Assessment (CVA). Under this new assessment system, all property
assessments in Ontario are updated on a regular basis.
The CVA of a property represents an estimated market value, or the
amount that the property would sell for in an open market, arm's
length sale between a willing seller and a willing buyer at a fixed
point in time.
For the 1998 to 2000 taxation years, property assessments were based
on a June 30, 1996 valuation date. For the 2001 and 2002 taxation
years, property assessments in Ontario were updated to reflect
current values as at June 30, 1999. For the 2003 year, property
assessments were updated to reflect current values as of June 30,
2001 valuation date. For 2004, property assessments were based on
the June 30, 2003 valuation date.
Q: When will the next reassessment occur?
A: The next province-wide assessment update will take place in 2005,
when the assessed values of all properties will be updated to
January 1, 2005. These will be used to calculate your 2006 taxes.
Every property owner in Ontario will receive an Assessment Notice in
the fall of 2005.
Q: Who determines the assessed value (i.e. CVA) of my property?
A: The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) is a not for
profit corporation responsible for determining the CVA and tax class
for all properties in Ontario for municipal and education taxation.
In November 2003 MPAC mailed notices of assessment to all Toronto
property owners advising them of their new CVA based on a June 30,
2003 valuation date.
Q: What do I do if I disagree with the CVA for my property?
A: If you feel that your property has been valued incorrectly you
can have your assessment reviewed by MPAC by filing a 'Request for
Reconsideration'. There is no fee for this request and the deadline
to apply for the 2005 taxation year is December 31, 2005. You can
visit the MPAC website at www.MPAC.ca to obtain a Request for
Reconsideration form.
If your Request for Reconsideration is successful, MPAC will forward
the results directly to the City in order to expedite processing of
any tax adjustment.
If other information on your Notice of Assessment is inaccurate,
such as the assessed owner, location or property description, etc.
you may contact MPAC at 1-866-296-6722 (toll free) to verify details
about your property.
Property owners also have the option of filing a formal appeal with
the Assessment Review Board (ARB). The fee for this appeal is $50
for residential properties and $125 for commercial properties. The
deadline to file an appeal with the ARB is March 31, 2005.
Applications are available by contacting the ARB at 416-314-6900 or
by visiting their website at www.arb.gov.on.ca.

GOVERNMENT
WEBSITES |
|
Internet allows improved
public access to governments.
The
explosive growth of the Internet and the continuing public demand
for greater access to government has resulted in governments at all
levels rushing to ensure their presence on the World Wide Web. The
main purpose of most of the government Web sites is to communicate
with constituents and distribute information on various programs and
services. Governments at the federal and provincial levels, as well
as most local and regional governments in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA)
have established their own Web sites in an effort to get closer to
the voters.
In addition to obtaining information about government programs and
services, the public can also communicate with many elected
officials via e-mail.
For example,
by accessing the Government of Canada Web sites, individuals can
obtain e-mail addresses for the Prime Minister, and various federal
cabinet ministers.
Furthermore,
many of the Web sites have links to other government related home
pages making it easier for the public to stay in touch with their
elected representatives.
Listed below are the home page addresses for the federal and
provincial governments, and for many of the local and regional
governments in the Greater Toronto Area.
If the
government you are searching for is not listed, try a good search
engine. At the search engine's home page, simply enter the name of
the government, start the search and you should pull up some sites.
If you are unsuccessful, it may mean that no Web site exists or it
is under construction.
