The Assessment Act requires that the assessed value of your property be based on what your property would likely sell for on a specific date. The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) is responsible for assessing and classifying all properties in Ontario based on current value assessment (CVA). If you have any questions in regards to your assessment please contact MPAC at 1-866-296-6722 or visit the MPAC website.

If you feel that the assessment of your property is incorrect, appeals can be made to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC). Appeal forms can be viewed and downloaded from the MPAC website.

Tax certificates are legal documents meant to be supplied to lawyers, acting for the owner on the purchase or sale of a property. Certificates give the annual taxes, any current or prior year arrears, and any local improvements billed to the property. There is a fee charged for this certificate. The information is valid only at the moment of production of the certificate.

Purchasers can have their lawyers write a letter requesting a certificate along with payment to the Town of Parry Sound to be sure there are no outstanding amounts owing when the purchaser takes ownership.
