December 4, 2012To:From:Subject:Heads of CouncilAll Ontario MunicipalitiesDan MathiesonChair, MPAC Board of DirectorsUpdate from MPACI am writing to provide you with an update on the work we are doing at the MunicipalProperty Assessment Corporation (MPAC).In September, we began our delivery of the 2012 province-wide Assessment Update with thefirst mailing of Notices. Our primary focus in 2012 has been the delivery of updated assessedvalues for Ontario’s nearly five (5) million properties to both municipalities and propertyowners. In support of this work, we have undertaken a number of new initiatives including therelaunch of AboutMyProperty as well as the first MPAC MarketSnapshot reports.We also continued our work to deliver assessment growth to municipal rolls, process Requestsfor Reconsiderations and manage the disposition of Assessment Review Board Appeals.We are also continuing planning for 2013, and beyond, with a new four-year strategic planfocused on finding cost savings and creating operational efficiencies; a new approach tomunicipal payment for assessment services; and, laying the groundwork for improvements toour next enumeration event.2012 Province-wide Assessment UpdateOverall, average residential values have increased 18 per cent in Ontario since the 2008Assessment Update.Office of the Chair c/o Municipal Property Assessment Corporation1340 Pickering Parkway, Suite 101, Pickering, Ontario L1V 0C4T: 519.271.0250 ext 236 F:26905.831.0040 www.mpac.ca

Update from MPACDecember 4, 2012Page 2 of 10Some of the most significant assessment change was seen in the value of farmland, which roseby an average of 34 per cent. When residential values applied to farm homes are taken out, thevalue of Ontario farmland rose by an average of 46 per cent. Increases in farmland values wereseen across Ontario, driven primarily by the continued demand for land for dairy producers andintensive livestock operations, and the loss of farmland to development.In 2012, MPAC released several editions of its new MarketSnapshot report. These reports, withcommentary from MPAC’s Chief Assessor, Larry Hummel, provided context for propertyowners about the change in Ontario’s property market as reflected in the Assessment Update.MarketSnapshot and our launch of AboutMyProperty played key roles in our efforts toincrease public understanding of assessment and MPAC’s role.From the start of our mailing of Property Assessment Notices this fall, our Customer ContactCentre has handled approximately 103,000 enquiries received by phone, email, fax and inwriting. Drivers for enquiries include assessed value, information available throughwww.aboutmyproperty.ca and data-related matters. The number of enquiries received duringthis year’s update represents a 29 per cent decrease when compared to the same point in theNotice mail schedule in 2008. In terms of Requests for Reconsideration (RfR) submitted for the2013 property tax year, approximately 8,300 RfRs have been filed to date.Since the previous Assessment Update in 2008, MPAC has held more than 6,300 meetings withMunicipal Councils, property taxpayer groups and other stakeholder groups.In support of the 2012 Update, we also continued to meet with Municipal Councils and staff toprovide details of assessment changes and the impact in their communities.In addition, we have been providing every municipality with information through theNotice-based Market Change Profile (MCP). The MCP provides a set of reports to whichMunicipal staff can refer, as they prepare to understand the impacts of the Assessment Updatein their community. A final Roll-based MCP will be made available to coincide with theAssessment Roll Return, on or before December 11, 2012.Overall, we are seeing an increased public and media understanding of current valueassessment, the four-year phase-in program, and the role both assessment and MPAC play inOntario’s property tax system.In keeping with our responsibilities to ensure all property in Ontario is accurately assessed andclassified, we regularly review our processes and consult with stakeholders. As we prepare toOffice of the Chair c/o Municipal Property Assessment Corporation1340 Pickering Parkway, Suite 101, Pickering, Ontario L1V 0C4T: 519.271.0250 ext 236 F:27905.831.0040 www.mpac.ca

Update from MPACDecember 4, 2012Page 3 of 10deliver the 2012 Assessment Roll to municipalities, I would like to take this opportunity toprovide an update on some key assessment matters.• Landfills – During 2012, MPAC undertook a review of its valuation methodology forlandfill sites across Ontario.Over the coming months, we will be undertaking a further in-depth consultation processwith all stakeholders, including landfill operators, municipalities and the Ministry ofFinance on valuation changes as well as the implications before proceeding withchanges. We look forward to this review process and its findings and will continue tokeep affected municipalities updated on our progress.• Common Lots – On November 5, 2012, an amendment to Ontario Regulation 282/98 wasfiled providing direction on the assessment of a certain type of common land parcel withinresidential communities.For 2013, and subsequent tax years, this new provision provides direction that there willbe no separate assessed value of the common land parcel, but the value is to be includedin the value of the residential property that the owners of the common land parcel alsoown in the community.We were not able to reflect this change for the 2012 Property AssessmentNotices/Assessment Rolls due to the timing of the amendment. As a result, and whereapplicable, MPAC will implement this change through a post-roll Amended Notice inearly 2013.• Billboards – MPAC and the Ministry of Finance continue to review the assessment ofbillboards in Ontario. We will continue to share updates as details on the results of thisreview are available.• Provincial Parks – The Ministries of Natural Resources (MNR) and Infrastructure Ontariofiled Requests for Reconsideration/appeals, respectively, for 19 Provincial Parks (2009-2012 tax years). As a result of our review, MPAC determined a more equitable approachwas required to value Ontario’s 337 parks for the 2012 Assessment Update. Using up-todatedata provided by MNR, MPAC established 2012 assessments for the parks using sixOffice of the Chair c/o Municipal Property Assessment Corporation1340 Pickering Parkway, Suite 101, Pickering, Ontario L1V 0C4T: 519.271.0250 ext 236 F:28905.831.0040 www.mpac.ca

Update from MPACDecember 4, 2012Page 4 of 10(6) key criteria: geographic location; regulated park acreage; waterfront access;development zones; campsites; and building costs.Over the last month, MPAC hosted meetings with affected municipalities to provide anupdate of the changes. Province-wide, the 2012 assessments for Provincial Parks hasincreased by approximately $110 million since the last update in 2008. Although the totalvalue has increased province-wide, 78 municipalities will see an increase in theassessments; however, 57 municipalities will experience a decrease in their parkassessments.As an update, MNR has withdrawn their Requests for Reconsideration based on the resultof our review and MPAC continues to work with the Ministry of Infrastructure to settleoutstanding appeals.• Wind Turbines – To date, MPAC’s analysis of sales has not indicated that the presence ofwind turbines that are either abutting or in proximity to a property has either a positive ornegative impact on its value.MPAC is currently undertaking a study using its January 1, 2012 current value assessmentsfor 2013 taxation to determine if the distance from a wind turbine affects the assessedvalue.To complete this review, MPAC will compare the 2012 assessed values to recent saleprices to determine if the ratio between the assessments and sales prices differs betweenhomes near wind turbines and those further away. This is referred to as a level ofassessment study. This study will be completed in early 2013.AboutMyProperty (www.aboutmyproperty.ca)AboutMyProperty was relaunched in support of the 2012 Assessment Update earlier this yearwith a completely new look and navigation. Openness, transparency and convenience were all keyin developing this secure, self-serve web application. Starting this fall, owners of all propertytypes – residential, farm and business properties – have had access to detailed information throughAboutMyProperty.AboutMyProperty allows property taxpayers to quickly and easily find out more about howtheir property was assessed and to confirm its accuracy.

Using an interactive map of their community,they can create a Properties of Interest list with access to as many as 100 property snapshots –selected by them – and up to 24 detailed property reports – all free of charge.This web application features detailed reports and interactive map imagery for almost everyproperty in the province, under secured accessibility. Property owners also have the option ofsubmitting updates to the information MPAC has on file directly through the application.When designing AboutMyProperty, MPAC took a Privacy by Design (PbD) approach. ThePbD framework, created by Ontario’s Information and Privacy Commissioner (IPC), seeks toembed privacy into the design specifications of information technologies, organizational practicesand networked system architectures, to achieve the strongest protection possible, as the defaultcondition. MPAC also applied the IPC’s Privacy in the Cloud principles in its development ofAboutMyProperty.As of November 23, nearly 140,000 property owners have registered on AboutMyProperty toaccess information.MPAC’s MarketSnapshotThis summer, MPAC launched the first edition of MarketSnapshot, an online report tounderscore the link between a property’s sale price and assessed value. The report was releasedand provided a snapshot of residential sale price trends in Ontario – an important factor in thedetermination of assessed values. Commentary from local real estate boards across the provincewas included in this report to help explain trends in local sale prices over the past four (4) years.A second Assessment Update edition of MarketSnapshot was released in September to coincidewith the mailing of Property Assessment Notices. In mid-November, a Farm Property Valuesedition was released and a Business Property Edition is now underway.MarketSnapshot has been well received, particularly by real estate professionals, and we plan topublish additional reports in 2013.Review of Requests for Reconsideration (RfR) and Assessment Review Board (ARB)AppealsMPAC received over 17,000 RfRs for the 2012 tax year, representing approximately 0.3 percent of Ontario’s nearly five (5) million properties. All 2012 RfRs received by March 31 werecompleted by the legislated deadline of November 30.Office of the Chair c/o Municipal Property Assessment Corporation1340 Pickering Parkway, Suite 101, Pickering, Ontario L1V 0C4T: 519.271.0250 ext 236 F:30905.831.0040 www.mpac.ca

Update from MPACDecember 4, 2012Page 7 of 10By receiving this data directly from surveyors, MPAC will be able to improve the accuracy andconsistency of the information used to assess properties. Receiving this critical information in aformat that requires no transcribing or calculation by our staff means we can add growth tomunicipal assessment rolls in a more timely manner.The agreement with the ODCC is significant for the organization as almost half of all residentialassessment growth in Ontario can be attributed to subdivisions.In addition to the efficiencies that this agreement helps bring to our internal work processes, it isalso an important first step for MPAC as part of one of the Victory Statements included in ournew four-year strategic plan. Specifically, it reflects our commitment to capturing 100 per cent ofavailable assessment growth within 12 months of commencement of use by 2016.Stakeholder Outreach ActivitiesMPAC has continued its successful community outreach initiatives to help raise awareness ofassessment-related matters. In 2012, MPAC has held approximately 1,085 outreach activitiesacross the province with various property taxpayer and stakeholder groups and attended over 20municipal association conferences and trade shows.Some of the most recent events or activities include:• MPAC staff attended the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) AnnualConference from August 19-22, 2012 in Ottawa.

In September, we launched our new four-year strategy focused on creating costsavings and operational efficiencies. The strategy has the potential to save as much as $20 millionover the next four (4) years. These savings are expected to be passed on to municipalities, whichfund the cost of MPAC.This strategy will have an impact on how every MPAC employee does his or her job. Someexamples of the improvements planned as part of the strategy include the reduction of office space,reduction of the operating and capital expenses of our fleet, as well as making more servicesavailable online to property taxpayers.In support of this new strategy and as part of MPAC’s commitment to support Ontario’scommunities, MPAC has partnered with Habitat for Humanity Canada and will corporatelysupport the organization through payroll donations, local fundraising and team builds. The newstrategy will formally roll out in January 2013 and we will share updates on our progress as weimplement initiatives.2013 Payment for ServicesThe Board of Directors has approved MPAC’s funding requirements for 2013 and, for the firsttime, also approved a targeted four-year expenditure plan for 2013 – 2016. I am pleased to informyou that the funding requirements approved for 2013 represent an increase of less than one percent over the 2012 funding level.In addition to setting an increase of 0.95 per cent for 2013, MPAC is also forecasting a proposedincrease of 0.95 per cent for each of 2014, 2015 and 2016.In determining our funding requirements, we consider a number of factors including the workactivities that MPAC must complete, the continued growth of the number of properties that MPACassesses and classifies and the various fiscal pressures on the organization including wages,benefits, pension costs and utilities. The organization’s ability to continue to deliver its operationswith incremental funding requirements set at less than one (1) per cent for each of the next four (4)years is only possible due to our commitment to expenditure constraint as well as our ability toOffice of the Chair c/o Municipal Property Assessment Corporation1340 Pickering Parkway, Suite 101, Pickering, Ontario L1V 0C4T: 519.271.0250 ext 236 F:33905.831.0040 www.mpac.ca

As in 2012, municipalities will be billed in equal quarterly installments on thefirst day of each quarter.MPAC to host 2012 Voters’ List ForumOn December 5, 2012, MPAC will co-host a Voters’ List Forum.
