Background: The Municipal Act provides the Treasurer with various tax tools
regarding the administration and collection of property taxes. Under the provisions of
the new Municipal Act, 2001, as amended, Section 357 of the Act provides for the
reduction of taxes due to fire, demolition, exemption, assessment change or error and
the tax reduction is applicable to the current year only. Section 358 of the new
Municipal Act, 2001, allows for the reduction of taxes due to assessment error and this
section can be applied to property taxes for the two preceding years.

Attachment 1 represents properties that are classified as taxable. Two properties reflect
"no change" or reduction in their property taxes. This change is shown as having zeros
in the corresponding columns. Municipal Property Assessment Corporation or MPAC
staff have investigated each assessment reduction request. After completing their
investigation, they have reached the conclusion that the property does not warrant a
reduction in assessment and therefore, an adjustment in property taxes. In some
situations, the demolished structure was less than pristine condition, and demolishing
the structure did not reduce the property's assessment value. If the property owner
does not agree with MPAC's recommendation, they have the right to appeal to the
Assessment Review Board under subsection (7) of the Municipal Act, 2001.
Attachment 2 represents properties that are classified as Payment in Lieu (PILS). Ten
properties are owned by Region of York/Durham Region. The residential properties
associated with the Duffin Creek Water Pollution Control Plant are now vacant,
therefore resulting in exempt status as stated in Section 3 (9) of the Assessment Act.
Change in realty tax class can translate into lower property taxes if the property went
from industrial to commercial tax class or commercial to residential tax class.
Demolitions, and other physical changes to a property, such as removing or filling in a
swimming pool, or damage caused by fire result in a reduction in assessment and
taxes.
