Due to COVID-19, the Province of Ontario has also decided to postpone the 2020 Assessment Update
which would have seen MPAC update the assessed value of every property in Ontario this year. Instead, property assessments for 2021 will continue to be based on 2020 values, unless there has been a change to the property.
This means that any reduction in property tax for 2020, will also apply to 2021, in effect doubling the amount of tax savings received.
We are a law firm with a practice restricted to property tax and assessment matters. We assist property owners throughout Ontario obtain fair and equitable property tax assessments. Our legal professionals are ready to start reducing your taxes today.
We provide a free professional service to review any MPAC assessed value.
This service includes verifying the accuracy of MPAC data, and comparing the assessment with open-market sales which occurred during the relevant period. We also take into consideration any unique characteristics of the property. Finally, we also consider the more subtle issue of equity with similar property in the vicinity.
Pay absolutely nothing unless we generate tax savings for you. If we generate tax savings, we charge a fee equal to 35% of the tax savings amount, plus HST. If there are no tax savings, there is no fee payable. Its really that simple.
For over 25 years, we have been successfully challenging assessed values determined by MPAC.
The first step in the review process is to file a Request for Reconsideration with MPAC. If a satisfactory resolution cannot be reached, an appeal can be filed with the Assessment Review Board (ARB).

A tax appeal is a complaint about how a municipality calculated taxes for a specific property.
For most municipalities, the appeal is made under the Municipal Act, 2001. Toronto has its' own taxing statute entitled the City of Toronto Act, 2006, which in most respects mirrors the provincial counterpart.
There have been many changes to Ontario’s property tax legislation in recent years. One consequence of these changes is occasional errors in property assessments and tax bills. If errors are not corrected, they can lead to excessive taxes that will be virtually impossible to correct in future years.
Our legal professionals work with tax departments and MPAC to ensure that you receive fair and accurate assessments and tax bills. In the vast majority of cases, results are achieved through a negotiated resolution with MPAC and Tax Department representatives.
