WHAT WE DO
Property Tax Review Services wins fair tax treatment for Ontario property owners.
We find, appeal and correct the errors, inconsistencies, and misinterpretations that inflate your tax bill.
HOW WE DO IT
There are 2 ways of challenging an assessment:
A REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION WITH MPAC
This is an informal process used to have an open discussion with MPAC to determine whether the parties can agree on whether there is an error.
THE APPEAL PROCESS
An appeal to the Assessment Review Board (a provincial tribunal that hears cases) when MPAC and the property owner can’t come to an agreement.
95% of our cases are either resolved through a Request for Reconsideration, or through a negotiated settlement with MPAC and the municipalities prior to any hearing before the Assessment Review Board.

-
Analysis – Determining how assessors used the documents to draw conclusions.
-
Appeal Preparation – Identifying grounds for appeal and preparing all required documents.
