History of Assessment and Municipal Taxation in Ontario
George W. James surveys the evolution of property assessment in Ontario from guesswork to modern, standardized methods. He notes the county system, the Association of Assessing Officers of Ontario, and provincial support since 1947, outlines square foot and cubic foot valuation for buildings, land pricing by frontage, and the creation of appraisal cards and land value maps. He argues reform reduces costs, improves fairness, and enables comparable records, urging fair pay and proper equipment for assessors to ensure equitable taxation.
