Property assessments up sharply in Ontario

Homeowners in Ontario will be paying an average of 18 per cent more in property taxes. The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation began mailing notices Tuesday which show an annual increase of 4.5 per cent per year over the past 4 years. The assessments are based on estimates of a home’s sale price on January 1, 2016 and can be appealed if owners believe it to be inaccurate.
