Advocacy Update: Calling for Return to the Assessment Cycle

As you'll recall, the province postponed property assessments during the COVID-19 pandemic. While this rationale was understood, continued delay is have effects on municipal finances.



AMCTO and other municipal associations were disappointed that the Fall Economic Statement contains no new information about the government's plan to lift the pause despite our team having flagged the importance of the update during our delegation with the Ministry of Finance Parliamentary Assistant Crawford in August 2022. 



AMCTO stands with AMO in its call for a return to the assessment cycle and has further emphasized this need in a letter to Finance Minister Bethlenfalvy.
