2012 Property Assessment Notices
The 2012 Property Assessment Roll has been delivered.
This means that all property owners in the City of Winnipeg will be receiving a notice advising them of the value of their property as at the reference date of April 1, 2010. This value will be used in the calculation of taxes in 2012.
It is important to note that although this value will be used to calculate taxes in 2012 it is too early to determine what the taxes will be as the 2012 tax rates have yet to be set by City Council, the Province of Manitoba or the various school divisions. Please keep in mind that a change in market value of your property does not necessarily result in a similar proportionate change to your property taxes.
