 Property Assessments

are completed every three years by the Municipal Assessment Agency (MAA).

 MAA is a crown-owned

corporation responsible for providing real property valuations for property tax purposes under the provincial Assessment Act, 2006.

 As per the Assessment Act, the MAA provides

municipalities in Newfoundland and Labrador an annual Assessment Roll.

 The “Roll” lets Town’s know who owns

property in the community and shows the property values.

 As per the Municipalities Act, 1999, a Town

imposes a “real property tax” on the owners

• f real property in a municipality.

 The “mil rate” is derived from “mil” or

“thousandth”.

 For Port Blandford, the mil rate is 5 or one

five thousandth of the property value.

 Example:  House and Land Valued at

$100,000

 (Value / 1,000) x mil rate  ($100,000 / 1,000) x 5  = $500
