Every four years, your property will be assessed by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC), an independent, not-for-profit corporation funded by all Ontario municipalities.
The 2020 taxation year is the last year of the current four-year phase-in period, starting with the valuation date of January 1, 2016, for taxation purposes.
The Ontario government has announced that the 2020 Assessment Update has been postponed. They have indicated that property assessments for the 2021 property tax year will continue to be based on the fully phased-in January 1, 2016 current values. This means your property assessment for the 2021 property tax year will be the same as the 2020 tax year, unless there have been changes to your property.
When you receive your notice, please review it and keep it for your records.
We encourage you to visit AboutMyProperty.ca to learn more about how your property was assessed, see the information MPAC has on file, as well as compare it to others in your neighbourhood.
Property owners have 120 days from the issue date on their Notice of Assessment to file a Request for Reconsideration.
The Request for Reconsideration (RfR) deadline is usually March 31 of the applicable taxation year. However, given the emergency declared by the Province of Ontario, the RfR deadline for the 2020 taxation year will be 16 days after the emergency is lifted.
