  WHEREAS the pause in the reassessment cycle has created uncertainty and instability in property taxation, impacting both residential and commercial property owners; and

  WHEREAS that the MPAC Municipal Property Assessment Corporation recognizes the importance of ensuring accurate evaluations for all properties within the Province of Ontario; and

  WHEREAS the Government has announced a review of the property assessment and taxation system with a focus on fairness, equity and economic competitiveness, and therefore further deferring new property assessment valuations;

  NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Council of the Town of Orangeville hereby calls upon the Premier to promptly resume the assessment cycle to ensure the stability and predictability of property taxes while the Government conducts its review of the property assessment and taxation system, or respond with an alternative method for every municipality in Ontario to achieve fair taxation; and

  THAT the Town of Orangeville Council requests that all Municipalities in Ontario apply pressure to the Premier and Ministers and their local MPP to resume the reassessment cycle immediately; and
