ontario itatraw v tha assessment act in explaining the duties of courts of revision county and district judges aad the ontario municipal board when de termining appeals against assessment states that trie assessment of simi lar property in tha vicinity is to be one of tha main guides in deciding tha actual value it is also assumed that if indus trial property or farm property is asaeaaad for 80 par cant of its ac tual value that residentlsl property end commercial property shall also be asssssaj at 80 per cent decisions have also been given that in counties where a county as sessor has bean appointed taut the i lineament of property in one mun icipally mar be compared with tha a of property in another municipality of the same county however an assessment in tha cty of hamilton cannot be compared with one in the city of oalt though the municipalities ere fairly adja cent as explained in sn earlier arti cle where munlcipalitee are joined tog se for administrative purpo ses the county costs are apport ioned among tha various munici palities on the basis of assessment end this particularly applied to edu cational grants in all townabips aad in villages and towns with s pop ulation of leas than 2300 the provincial department of ed ucation are naturally desirous of ensuring that school grsnts ere equi tably distributed at the seme time to ensure that a municipality which install a proper system of values is not discriminated ag ainst thry hsvs placed in their grant regulations s method to over come this to some degree canalisation of assessment we have mentioned above the importance of equalised assessment to ensure a fair distribution of shared costs or government grants as between municipalities a pro- per system of assessment and equal ization la especially important to tho local taxpayer for on the basis of his assessment is determined not only tho amount of taxes he pays to maintain county services and schools put lso the services provi ded by his own municipality he is therefore in the first in stance concerned with the assess ment of his neighbour or similar property in the municipality the fact that his assessment is 61300 am the taxirste is 60 mills or whe ther his assessment js 63000 and the tax rate is so mills does not change the actual tax dollars to be paid from 0000 however he is concerned when his assessment is 83000 and similar value property is only assessed for 62300 so equalization and proper es- fessmenr shpuld malt its start in the local municipality before it can be applied as a test against the equalization and assessment of other municipalities j assessors prahlems while it la riot entirely possible to ensure hat taxpayers shall only tax aw the actual some pro slong this line hss been made in the past few years a good assessor never raises the assessment be the exterior or interior of a building is well pain ted or decorated neither does he rste the vstue of buildings higher because of s good roof or eave- troughlng or well kept lawns flow er bads paved driveways fences ate however he should not reduce the s because of tha lack of any of t kesns unless such lack has caused an actual cost ly physlcsl depreciation ha should keep in mind however that badly laid out buildings lack of natural light and tha poor loca tion etc of a property will defln- ltary reduce the value he should not penalize the good ctttxen who improves his home by such items aa hardwood flooring or mastic tile floors fireplaces attached oil burn ers paneling builtin cupboards etc while all of these items are legally assessable yet tha taxpayer whose home has these features does not receive any extra municipal service becsuss of them and in some instances receives leas items which are more or less stsndsrd
