History
The Ontario Property Assessment Corporation administered the Assessment Act, conducting the valuation and assessment of real property (land and buildings) in Ontario for the purposes of municipal taxation, and enumeration for voters' and school supporters' lists.
The Corporation was created on December 31, 1988 under the authority of the Ontario Property Assessment Corporation Act, 1997. The Corporation assumed the functions of the former Property Assessment Division of the Ministry of Finance.
The Corporation was created as a non-share capital, not-for-profit Corporation with a Board of Directors composed of municipal representatives, property taxpayers, and provincial representatives. All members of the Board were appointed by the Ministry of Finance. Most of the staff of the Corporation was located in 33 field offices.
The Act was amended in 2001 and the organization was renamed the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation.
