history of assessment and municipal taxation in ontario section 33 of the assessment act defines the rules of valuation to be used by ail assessors whether it be in our largest cities or our small est villages or townships this section provides that land which includes any buldlrgs cr ected on such land is to be- osscs sed at its actual value that is not 50 per cent or 75 per cent of tht value as is sometimes assumed but 100 per cent of vslue this section also states that when assessing land without buildings erected thereon consideration is to be given to the following factors location pres ent use normal rental value nor mal sale value and any other clr cumstance affecting the value the amount to be placed for assessment purposes on the buildings is u be the amount by which they increase the value of the land assessment example an example of this reasoning might be of two brothers who crcc ted identically similar houses in the city of drantford in 1m7 one bro ther purchased a 1000 00 lot in a good residential section while the other purchased a 100 00 lot a poor section the replacement cost of either of the houses at 1m0 val ues was 6000 jn the good residential area the assessor was justified in placing the total replacement cost of the house 0o00 for assessment purposes as the house by reason of its location rental value and soles value increa sed the value of the land by that amount however while the house on the poor lot cost just as much to erect its poor location lower ren tal and sales values lessened its actual appreciation of the land so the assessor was quite justified in placing only 3500 00 on the build ing for assessment purposes the same situation would deve lop where two similar value houses were erected one in a city and one in a village a good brick house would cost as much to erect in the town of bala as in the city of tor onto but due to its location lower rental and talcs value the property would not be as valuable to overcome thl assessors use various methods to bring the ass essment value more in line with its actual vnluo some of these meth ods are by allowing depreciation or location obsolescence or by using rental capitalization etc while ob- jections moy be found to any oi these methods still it the system is applied fairly over the whole municipality there will be some de cree of equity not only between properties of the same type and class but also between different types of property the fact that a building is old does not necessarily mean a loss in value residences kept in a fair state of repair and in areas which have not gone down are worth in most coses many times their original cost of erection more jarge old homes loso value because of their oversize and their present um as single res idences when their better use would be apartments than on account of their age alono use normal value yearj present day replacement costs and sales values ere possibly very poor guides todayin establishing assessment values for this reason the majority of nwnrs take the- yeor 1040 as the normal value year when catauatlritfftlhel assessment values this ensures that even if ral estate values decline- in the fu ture that propert 4f hot usesseo at over 100 pwteettt 6 vsltisv 300 per cent over 1040 values while building costs generally huvi risen about a00 per cent it will be read lly icen from these figures that a person assessed on 1040 values has not much complaint unless he is inequitably assessed with his neighbour or other property in the assessing area the provisions of section 33 of the act detailed at the beginning of this article governs the method of making the assrsment for all types and classes of property in all parts of ontario with excepuon of rail way telephone and telegraph pro pertles etc and buildings used in connection with the production or storage of minerals mining buildings used for this purpose are not assessable as a ah arc of the pro fits of the mine
