Residential Preview Letters

This reassessment will be based on market values as at April 1, 2012 and it will come into effect for the 2014 tax year. Starting in November 2012 the Assessment and Taxation Department will be sending out preview letters in order to advise property owners in Winnipeg what their preliminary estimate of value will be for 2014.
