Application for cancellation or reduction of taxes to the Council of the City of Brantford

A Section 357 Tax Appeal is filed due to a change of event that occurred during the current taxation year. The deadline for submitting an application is February 28 of the year following the taxation year to which the application relates.

A Section 358 Tax Appeal is to cancel, reduce or refund taxes for one or both of the two years preceding the year in which the application is made. A Section 358 Tax Appeal may be filed for any overcharge caused by a gross or manifest error in the preparation of the assessment roll that is clerical or factual in nature, including transposition of figures, a typographical error or similar errors, but not an error in judgment in assessing the property (i.e. garage removed in 2006 but MPAC continues to assess value for 2007 and 2008 in current year 2009). An application must be filed between March 1 and December 31 of a year and may apply to taxes levied for one or both of the two years preceding the year in which the application is made, and the application shall indicate to which year or years it applies.
