Summary |
This report deals with tax appeal applications made to the Treasurer pursuant to sections 323 and 325 of the City of Toronto Act, 2006 (COTA). Section 323 permits Council to cancel, reduce or refund taxes in cases when, during the year, a property undergoes changes such as when it is destroyed by fire or demolished, becomes exempt from taxation, or is reclassified due to a change in its use. Under section 325 of the COTA, taxpayers can request a cancellation, reduction or refund of taxes when an error in the assessment roll is identified which results in an overcharge.
The legislation requires Council to hold a public meeting where applicants may make a submission in defence of their position. Council has delegated authority to hold such public meetings to the Government Management Committee.
Staff have mailed Notices of Hearing to affected taxpayers advising of the upcoming hearing before Government Management Committee. |
