Disclosing the Assessment Roll

Disclosing the Assessment Roll

Municipalities are required under section 39(2) of the Assessment Act to make the assessment roll “available for inspection by the public during office hours.”  However, this requirement does not extend to the disclosure of information provided to municipalities by MPAC through other means such as Municipal Connect.  Please contact your local Account Manager or Regional Manager for further questions about the disclosure of information, including policies for the assessment roll.
