REASSESSMENT  We are now in the third year of an updated four year phase-in Property Assessment update which updated from a 2008 base year to a 2012 base year.  Assessment reductions are not phased-in in the same manner as assessment increases are, total reduction was given immediately (during the 2013 taxation year) which added stress to the 2013 taxation year but continues as Requests for Reconsideration are being processed.  Taxable Assessments for the Township of Madawaska Valley rose by 5.16% from $642,421,623 in 2014 to $675,601,963 for REVENUE SOURCES LIMITED – RISING COSTS  Other than a small number of grant opportunities, in addition to fees and service charges that are levied, property taxation is the only means that the Township has to raise revenues.  Operation costs continue to rise; the need to replace and rehabilitate existing capital assets with minimal assistance of the upper levels of Government; and the implementation of the Township Asset Management Plan (a requirement of obtaining future Provincial funding) are making it very difficult to maintain tax levies at previous levels, however for 2015 the Township of Madawaska Valley has succeeded.
