2005 Interim Property Tax Billing
Mailing of the City of Toronto's 2005 Interim Property Tax Bills will commence on January 11, 2005. In total, the City will mail over 600,000 property tax bills.
Background:
The 2005 Interim Property Taxes are based on 50% of the 2004 taxes, excluding tax rebates, deferrals, or cancellations processed in 2004.
As in previous years, customers with outstanding tax amounts for prior years, will receive a "Past Due" message printed on the inside, right flap of their bill.
For the first time, tax accounts with credit balances under $100.00 will have the credit deducted from their 2005 Interim tax bill which is consistent with a recommendation approved by City Council on June 22, 23 and 24, 2004.

Property Tax Assessment Appeals:
If a property owner wishes to have their assessment reviewed by MPAC, they may file a "Request for Reconsideration". Requests for Reconsideration for 2005 assessed values must be made to MPAC by December 31, 2005. Applications are available on the MPAC Web site at http://www.mpac.ca
If a property owner's Request for Reconsideration is successful, MPAC will forward the results directly to the City in order to expedite processing.
For information regarding a property's assessment, taxpayers should contact MPAC at 1-866-296-MPAC (6722).
Alternatively, taxpayers may wish to file a formal appeal with the Assessment Review Board (ARB). The deadline for this filing is March 31, 2005. Additional information on assessment appeals is available on the ARB Web stie at http://www.arb.gov.on.ca
