Applications for Cancellation, Refund, Reduction or Levy of Taxes
January 15th special Hearing
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that, pursuant to Section #357 of The Municipal Act,
S.O. 2001, applications to City Council for Cancellation, Reduction,
refund or levy of taxes, Council approve the two applications, totalling
$1,131.58, in the report attached to FIN-07-004.
BACKGROUND:
Council requested that staff ask MPAC to review application #27 on the Council Tax Adjustment
report attached to FIN-06-60, to determine whether the reduction in assessment was appropriate.
On review and in discussion with the tax payer MPAC have made a further reduction in
assessment on this property. The tax payer has been notified of the reconsideration and is in
agreement with the change.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The tax reductions are shared with the Regional Municipality of Waterloo and the School
Boards. The net effect to the City of Kitchener amounts to $356.75 in tax levy to be reduced.
