Reading Your Property Assessment Notice
As part of the Ontario Government’s Ontario Economic Outlook and Fiscal Review on November 4, Peter Bethlenfalvy, Minister of Finance and President of the Treasury Board announced the Province’s decision to once again postpone a province-wide property assessment update due to the pandemic.
