A Report of the Special meeting held regarding Farm Assessment Appeals
Present at the meeting were Mr. Paul Mingay, Solicitor, on behalf of the
York Regional Assessment Branch, Mro John Thompson, Acting Commissioner
York Regimnal Assessment Branch, Mr. John James, Manager of Farm Valuations,
York Regional Assessment Dept. Councillor I. Harris, K.B. Rodger, Clerk-
Administrator.
In accordance with the request and a notice given to Council, Monday, September
20th. the meeting was held in the Aurora Council Chambers, at 3:00 p.m. to
learn of the present status of the Farm Appeal as it affects the Region of York
and in particular the Town of Aurora. The York Regional Assessment Branch
have in~ous stages of appeal, 883 farm appeals in the Region of York that
affected the 1970 assessment roll on which the 1971 taxation is based.
The Town of Aurora (new boundaries) have 73 farm properties in total. Of this
number 12 properties are under appeal either to the Assessment Review Court
which has been adjourned at the present time or under appeal to the Counvy
Judge. This. represents 16% of the Aurora farm properties under appeal.
A test case was held and the decision has been handed down by the <Jntari,o
Municipal Board which based farm land valtiations on agricultural productivity
and the decision stated that this particular property was to be a test case
~d is referred to and !mown. as the "Cyril Cle.rk•" . The Cyril Clark appeal
case decisi·on was based on a 'IB.iue of $300o00 per acre assessment. If the
Ass.essl!lent Branch are to follow the same criteria as established in this test
ease it would place York farm values on the basis of $240.00 per .. acre and a
climatic.:f:'luctuation between a minimum of $180.()() per acre and a l!laXimum of
$260~90 per acre. · · · · ·
: .,-'' '' '-' ; ''
It has peen c.alculated by Mr. John James, FaTI!l VaJ,uationManager, that this
formUla applied to the Town of Aurora farm properties would reduce the total
farm p;rop,erties. now under app~al .in the total value of $326,850.00 to
$261,8Q().oo~ a reduction of $65,050.00 assess~nt~ This in effect, would
