If you do not agree with your Real Property Assessment value, you can submit a Request for Review (RfR) within 30 days of the mailing date on your annual Assessment Notice. Our highly trained assessors will review it free of charge and provide unbiased valuations using appraisal industry best practices.
File a Request for Review
Note: The Department of Finance and Treasury Board mails the property tax notice (bill) each year in March. Even if a Request for Review has been filed, property owners are responsible to pay the full amount indicated on the property tax notice by the date specified to avoid penalty.
Misplaced or need a copy of your Annual Property Assessment Notice?
Please call 1-888-762-8600.
The Request for Review process is for those who feel their property’s assessed value does not reflect Real and True Value (market value). Market value is the price a property would likely sell for on the open real estate market. Learn more about market value and search sale prices of properties in your area.
This is the first official level of appeal. When the assessor receives your Request for Review, he or she will contact you to confirm property details and discuss particular valuation issues. Following the review, the assessor will send you a notice of the decision. Enclosed with the decision will be the Notice of Appeal and the information needed, in the case that you wish to move on to the second level of appeal with the Assessment and Planning Appeal Board.
You can file a Request for Review (RfR) if:
- You are recipient of the Annual Property Assessment Notice
- You are the property owner’s authorized representative
If you are submitting a Request for Review in some manner other than through the online portal above, and you are not the owner, an employee of the company that owns the property or a lawyer, you must provide a Letter of Authorization (LOA) (for example: a property tax agent).
The LOA is written authorization to act on behalf of the owner in matters pertaining to property assessment.
