The resulting Assessment Rolls are delivered to municipalities which use them to set their mill rates and compute municipal property tax bills. The amount of property tax you pay on your home or business depends on the assessed value and the mill rate set by your municipality. The assessed value multiplied by the mill rate will determine your 1987 property taxes. Open House Sessions Open Houses are your opportunity to fully understand your assessment and to evalu- ate its equity. Open Houses are held in every municipal- ity at convenient times and locations to pro- vide you with the opportunity to discuss your assessment with staff of the Regional Office. An assessor will be pleased to explain the basis of your property assessment and is authorized to amend any inaccurate informa- tion prior to the delivery of the Assessment Roll to your municipality. If you have any questions but are unable to - attend the Open House, please contact your Regional Assessment Office at the address or telephone number shown below. Assessment Notice Property owners and tenants will receive an Assessment Notice only if information relat- ing to their property or assessment was changed during the past year, if the assessment was appealed last year, or if there has been a general reassessment in the municipality. \f you receive an Assess- ment Notice, it may reflect changes you have requested in your school support designation, in the amount of your assessed value, or other recorded information on last year's Notice. Appeal Procedure If, atter attending your local Open House, you are still dissatisfied with your assessment, you have the right to appeal it to the Assess- ment Review Board. The Assessment Review Board conducts informal hearings and is responsible-for determining whether the assessment under appeal is fair and equitable with the assessments of similar properties in the vicinity or neighbourhood, and may alter your assessment accordingly.
