Motel Assessments
Reading your motel Property Assessment Notice
As a property owner in Ontario, you'll receive a Property Assessment Notice for your property every four years unless there is a change to your property. Learn how to read your Property Assessment Notice.
How your motel property is assessed
Motel properties vary considerably, but in general, they:
- Provide short or long-term lodging.
- Typically have fewer amenities than hotels.
- Are generally single-storey or two-storey buildings with connected rooms.
- May have open walkways and exterior entrances.
- Are usually located with good access to major road networks and situated near highways or on the outskirts of major or small cities/towns.
Assessment approach
Motel properties are valued using a gross income multiplier (GIM). The GIM appropriate for the property will also depend upon a wide range of factors, including:
- size
- design
- age
- location
- quality
