BY-LAW NUMBER 2020-11
A BY-LAW TO PROVIDE FOR INTERIM TAX LEVIES FOR THE YEAR 2020 FOR THE TOWNSHIP OF ADMASTON/BROMLEY
WHEREAS section 317 of the Municipal Act, S.O. 2001, provides that the Council of a local municipality, before the adoption of estimates for the year under section 290, may pass a by-law levying amounts on the assessment of property in the local municipality rateable for local municipality purposes;
AND WHEREAS Council of this municipality deems it appropriate to provide for such interim levy on the assessment of property in this municipality;
THEREFORE the Council of the Township of Admaston/Bromley enacts as follows:
In this by-law the following words shall be defined as:
“Collector” shall mean Township of Admaston/Bromley;
“Minister” shall mean the Minister of Finance;
“MPAC” shall mean the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation;
1. The amounts levied shall be as follows:
1.1 For the Residential, Pipeline, Farmland and Managed Forest property classes there shall be imposed and collected an interim levy of:
(a) the percentage prescribed by the Minister under section 317(3) of the Municipal Act; or, 50%, if no percentage is prescribed,
of the total taxes for municipal and school purposes levied in the year 2019.
1.2 For the Multi-Residential, Commercial and Industrial property classes there shall be imposed and collected an interim levy of:
(c) the percentage prescribed by the Minister under section 317(3) of the Municipal Act; or, 50% if no percentage is prescribed,
of the total taxes for municipal and school purposes levied in the year 2019.
2. For the purposes of calculating the total amount of taxes for the year 2020, if any taxes for municipal and school purposes were levied on a property for only part of 2019 because assessment was added to the collector’s roll during 2019, an amount shall be added equal to the additional taxes that would have been levied on the property if taxes for municipal and school purposes had been levied for the entire year.
3. The provisions of this by-law apply in the event that assessment is added for the year 2020 to the collector’s roll after the date this by-law is passed and an interim levy shall be imposed and collected.
4. All taxes levied under this by-law shall be payable into the hands of the Collector in accordance with the provisions of this by-law. 5. There shall be imposed on all taxes a penalty for non-payment or late payment of taxes in default of the instalment dates set out below.
