Assessment Appeals
The assessment of your property is the single largest component to determine your current property tax base. By law, the property assessment must reflect current market value and be consistent when assessing similar properties in your neighbourhood. This results in fair tax obligation. To accomplish a proper assessment, the Municipal Property Assessment Corp (MPAC) uses a complex statistical model to consider the inventory and detail for each property. Although very accurate overall, it is unavoidable that a statistical model will arrive at a higher than appropriate property assessment for a percentage of properties, resulting in unfair, higher than warranted taxes. MPAC is quick to dismiss appeals and is sophisticated in presenting and defending their findings when responding to inadequately prepared home owners appeals. Home Value Inc. will arrive at the correct value of your property, using skilled research and analysis and present a prepared appraisal report, increasing your chances to lower your property assessment. This will result in property tax savings for years to come.
