Decision Information
Abstract: .Appeal against an order of the Assessment Appeal Tribunal confirming an assessment of certain improvements made under the Property Assessment and Taxation Act allowed in part.

Decision: The appeal was allowed in part. Lots 10, 11 and 12 were correctly classified by the Tribunal as "commercial high rise". Lots 7,8, and 9 and the improvements on those lots, pursuant to the by-law should be classified as "commercial low-rise". The matter was referred back to the Tribunal for assessment of Lots 7, 8, and 9 .
