A little help from the government

Re: Increased Property Tax Assessments I see a lot of discussion on Facebook from people wondering why their assessed values have increased. Hopefully, this will help. The "assessed value" is determined by the market value of the property at a specific date in time. Previously, assessments were based on market values as of January 1, 2011. Every third year is a new base year. The new assessments are based on market values as of January 1, 2014. ... The assessed values are determined by the Municipal Assessment Agency, not the Town. Market value is primarily based on the "actual" sales prices of comparable homes in the neighbourhood. (This is not to be confused with listing prices, or asking price). It is the actual price paid by a wiling buyer. The assessor may also consider the value of any improvements, the cost to build, and income generated by the property. According to MLS statistics, property values in East Extern increased by 30.47% from January 2011 to January 2014 resulting in significant increases for most Flatrock residents. (The increase for the entire province was closer to 18%). In January 2011, the average "sold" price in East Extern was $284,560..compared to $371,263 in January 2014. (See table below). Generally, the assessed tax value will be less than the current market value. When considering an appeal, ask yourself this question: If you sold your home today, or within the past 2 years, could you reasonably anticipate a final sale price that is equal to or greater than the assessed value? If anyone here wishes to discuss further, I would be happy to set up an appointment with you. I can show you what comparable properties in your neighbourhood have actually sold for. There is no fee or obligation for this service, and I may be able to provide you with statistical sales data to help you decide whether or not to move forward with an appeal.
