Property Assessment Notices have been mailed to all ratepayers (persons or businesses responsible for paying property taxes). An assessment is a value placed on property (land and buildings) for municipal and school tax purposes.
Assessment Open Houses are scheduled for January 23 and 24, 2025 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at City Hall. The Assessor will be on site to answer assessment questions by appointment. Residents may call (867) 920-5664 or (867) 920-5625 to make an appointment with the Assessor or to speak to a representative regarding assessments.
For information regarding school support declarations and assessment appeals, please consult A Guide to Property Taxes. Appeals may only be filed against the assessment values of your property, not the amount of taxes collected. Note that the deadline to file a school support declarations and to make an appeal is February 20, 2025.
Property owners can compare assessment with other similar properties in their neighbourhood using the City’s online tool, CityExplorer. For land comparisons, ensure similarity of location, lot size and zoning. For building comparisons, ensure similarity of age, quality, style and size.
