Section 300 reports allow municipalities to share their successes in improving services for Ontarians and the exchange of good ideas and best practices.
The Municipal Performance Measures Program (MPMP) is a Provincial initiative introduced by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing and includes both efficiency and effectiveness measures.

AUTHORIZATION FORM
Pursuant to the Assessment Act, the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act and the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation Act, the Township requires a "Letter of Authorization" to be completed before verbally releasing, free of charge, the same assessment related information that an owner or an agent acting on behalf of the owner could obtain from viewing the property assessment roll books or from contacting MPAC directly.
Accurate assessed values are the cornerstone of the property tax system. The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) assesses over 4.4 million properties in Ontario.
To test your assessed value, ask yourself if you could sell your property for its assessed value. If your answer is "yes" your assessed value is accurate.
If your answer is "no" you can:
1. Ask MPAC to review your property's assessed value
2. File a Request for Reconsideration with the Assessment Review Board
You may also contact MPAC offices at (705) 728-3572 or 1-866-296-6722,
