The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) began mailing Property Assessment Notices today in Mississauga, where assessed values of residential property values have increased on average 6.8 per cent per year since 2012.
Every four years MPAC conducts a province-wide Assessment Update and mails Property Assessment Notices to every property owner in Ontario. In 2016, MPAC will update the assessed values of every property in Ontario. All properties will have a legislated valuation date of January 1, 2016.
MPAC looks at sales and compares properties to similar properties that have sold in a particular area.
“Our assessments reflect the local real estate market and property owners in Mississauga may be interested to know the value of their home has increased over the last four years,” said Greg Baxter, Director of Valuation and Customer Relations in MPAC’s Mississauga office. In Mississauga, the typical residential property is assessed at approximately $736,000.
Assessments can be appealed, said Baxter.
“Property owners should ask themselves if they could have sold their property for its assessed value on January 1, 2016. If the answer is yes, then their assessment is accurate and no further action is required. If not, we are committed to working with them to get it right.”
