WANT TO APPEAL VOUR ASSESSMENT?. You stili have time to appeal your 1989 assessment if you feel your home or business p roperty has been improperly assessed. Your assessment is important because the amount of property tax you wiil pay in 1990 depends on it. The assessed value of your property is multiplied by the&municipal and school miii rates to determine your property taxes. Notices of Property Valuation were mailed to property owners and tenants whose assessments have changed since iast year. Open house information sessions were heid in your area to give you the opportunity to ask questions and correct any errors. The Assessment Roll was deiivered to your municipaiity on February 27, 1990 and wili be used to caiculate the taxes you will pay in 1990. You can review the Roll at your municipal office during regular business hours. If you believe your prop- erty has been improperly assessed and you' have not yet registered an appeal, you stili have until March 20, 1990 to mail or deliver your appeal to the Assessmnent Review-Board. And remembeir, ýeven if you did flotreceive a Notice of Prop- erty Valuation, you stili have the right to appeal. Appeal, deadline: March 20, 1990 The Assessment Review Board is an independent tribunal under the jurisdiction of the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney, General. It is intended to provide you with an 'additional opportunity to -have your assessment reviewed if, in your opinion, it is not fair and equitabie with the assessment of similar properties in your area. The Review Board is more informai and reiaxed than a regular court of law. You may present your own case, retain a lawyer, or ask a relative or friend to speak as your agent. To help you in fiiing your appeal, Notice of Appeal forms are available from the Assessment Review Board, your Regional Assessment Office, or your municipal'office. You can also use the reverse side of a Notice of Property Valuation,- or write a letter giving the property address and roll number along with your reasons for appealing. Appeals should be forwarded to the Regional Registrar of the Assessment Review Board at the address shown below. If you appealed your previous assessment, it will be necessary to lodge an appeal against your assessment with the Aýsessment Review Board each year, if the appeal against your previous assessment has not yet been settled, or your 1989 Notice of Property Valuation does not reflect the most recent decision of the Board.
