In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Province of Ontario announced a decision to postpone the 2020 Assessment Update
which would have seen MPAC update the assessed value of every property in Ontario. Instead, property assessments for 2021-2024 will continue to reflect the assessment used for the 2020 tax year, unless there has been a change to the property.
There is no fee to file a Request for Reconsideration with MPAC to verify that the assessed value is correct.
Thank you for submitting this Questionnaire regarding this property.

Expert Property Tax Advice
We have acted in litigation involving all property types, including office buildings, shopping centres, development land, contaminated sites, industrial and multi-residential properties.
A tax appeal is a complaint about how a municipality calculated taxes for a specific property.
For most municipalities, the appeal is made under the Municipal Act, 2001. Toronto has its' own taxing statute entitled the City of Toronto Act, 2006, which in most respects mirrors the provincial counterpart.
There have been many changes to Ontario’s property tax legislation in recent years. One consequence of these changes is occasional errors in property assessments and tax bills. If errors are not corrected, they can lead to excessive taxes that will be virtually impossible to correct in future years.
Our legal professionals work with tax departments and MPAC to ensure that you receive fair and accurate assessments and tax bills. In the vast majority of cases, results are achieved through a negotiated resolution with MPAC and Tax Department representatives.
An assessment appeal is a complaint about the assessment of a property determined by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC), under the Assessment Act.
We file all material required by legislation and will pursue the most appropriate litigation strategy. We have experienced legal counsel committed to argue your case, and valuators who will present expert evidence on your behalf. Through this approach, we ensure that the taxes you pay are based on the lowest possible assessment.
Most assessment appeals are resolved through negotiation. In order to facilitate the negotiation process, we attend to all preliminary matters leading up to a hearing. We will obtain the most recent valuation records from MPAC and conduct a detailed review and analysis of the records to verify data integrity. Most importantly, we will identify all potential areas to maximize your tax recovery, and minimize your taxes going forward.
