Preface
To establish your property’s assessed value, MPAC analyzes property sales in your community. This method is called Current Value Assessment.
It is used by most assessment jurisdictions in Canada and throughout the world. In addition to sales, we look at the key features of every property. As many as 200 factors are considered when assessing the value of a residential property. Five major factors usually account for 85% of the value:
- location;
- lot dimensions;
- living area;
- age of the property, adjusted for any major renovations or additions; and
- quality of construction.
Other features that may affect value include: number of bathrooms, fireplaces, garages, pools, whether properties have water frontage, and so on.
We analyze the key features of your property with sales of comparable properties in your community to determine your assessment.
