Tax info sessions for unincorporated areas coming up

Information sessions are being held by the Ontario government over the next three weeks concerning changes to the taxation of unincorporated areas.
The sessions come as the province moves into the final phase of its Provincial Land Tax (PLT) reform that will see unincorporated territories taxed under the Current Value Assessment (CVA) format, starting in the new year.

The CVA format used to assess land taxes was not applied to properties in unincorporated territories when it first was introduced in 1998.
Ministry of Finance staff will be going through material and worksheets with property owners and taking questions about the reform.
The closest information sessions to Rainy River District are being held tomorrow (Aug. 19) from 9-11 a.m. at the Best Western Lakeside Inn and Conference Centre in Kenora and again Wednesday, Aug. 20 from 10 a.m.-noon at the Best Western Inn in Dryden.
