Parcel Tax Roll Review Panel

The Parcel Tax Roll Review Panel is mandated by statute and established pursuant to s. 204 of the Community Charter (CC). The Parcel Tax Roll Review Panel must meet before a parcel tax is imposed for the first time. The Panel must consider complaints from property owners subject to the parcel tax, respecting the parcel tax roll limited to the 4 grounds in the CC:

(a) there is an error or omission respecting a name or address on the parcel tax roll

(b) there is an error or omission respecting the inclusion of a parcel

(d) an exemption has been improperly allowed or disallowed.

The Panel must confirm and authenticate the roll. The (CC) requires that a public notice is published and pre-notification takes place for those properties that are to be taxed. View the public notice for instructions on the deadline and how to submit the required written notice of complaint that must be given to the District at least 48 hours before the time set for the first sitting of the review panel.

Members

Per the CC, Council must appoint at least 3 persons as the members of the parcel tax roll review panel. On November 5, 2018, Council appointed all members of Council to the Parcel Tax Roll Review Panel, therefore, it has 5 members and a quorum of 3.
