The Assessment Review Board (ARB), a tribunal of the Environment andLand Tribunals Ontario (ELTO), is changing its appeal fees.
The following changes will be effective as of Jan. 1:
– the residential assessment appeal fee is changing from $75 to $125 per roll number. A $10 discount still applies to E-Filed appeals; and
– the non-residental assesement appeal fee is changing from $150 to $300 per roll number. A $10 discount still applies to E-Flled appeals.
The ARB argues the filing fees are a necessary requirement to fulfil its commitment and help offset the associated costs with providing improved technology and alternate service delivery methods.
The filing fees have not changed for over 10 years while operating and administrative costs have increased significantly.
Puslinch Mayor Dennis Lever estimated these as between 66% to 100% increases in those fees.
