If the classification isn't changed, you owe us nothing. The consultation and review are free.
Assessed value × rate difference
Your saving is the assessed value of the part of the property that changes class, multiplied by the difference between the two tax rates. Rates are set per $1,000 of assessed value and vary by municipality.
We base our fee on the first year only. If your use stays the same, the lower class usually carries forward into future years, and those savings are all yours.
| Assessed value moved to Class 5 | $3,000,000 |
| Rate difference (Class 6 vs Class 5) | $3.00 / $1,000 |
| First-year saving | $9,000 |
Figures are for illustration only. Actual rates depend on the municipality and year, and every outcome depends on the decision of the Property Assessment Review Panel.
