20. ASSESSMENT GROWTH & ASSESSMENT INCREASES DUE TO RE-ASSESSMENT
Property valuations have been updated from a 2012 base year to a 2016 value increasing assessment which will be phased-in over the 2017 to 2020 tax years. Assessment reductions are not phased-in but were provided in the first year, 2017, of the re-assessment cycle.
The Phased-In assessment change from the 2018 tax year to the 2019 tax year was a 2.0% average increase for the taxable assessment property classes.
For our municipal taxation purposes, the weighted assessment (the assessment used for tax rate calculation) has increased from $734,269,897 used in 2018 to $756,696,134 in 2019, an increase of 3.05%.
The percentage assessment increases for individual properties vary from property to property therefore each property will be impacted differently, some less while others more, dependent upon the assessment change applied to it.

21. ASSESSMENT GROWTH & ASSESSMENT INCREASES DUE TO RE-ASSESSMENT
Cont’d
As property assessment directly impacts the taxes paid, property owners should ensure that they carefully review their assessments to confirm that their property value is correct as the assessment assigned to the property is used in the calculation of property taxes. The local municipality is not responsible for the assigning of assessment values therefore inquiries should be directed to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC).
