ARB Fee Chart
Note: The Assessment Review Board (ARB) sets fees independently from Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) and are based on Property Code and not Tax Classification. Having a tax classification determined to be Residential by MPAC (RTC/RTQ = RC) does not guarantee the filing fee of Residential, Farm or Managed Forest properties.

Footnotes to Fee Schedule
- A separate fee is charged for each appeal regardless of the fact that several appeals for a particular roll number are consolidated and heard together.
- Multi-residential properties include more than seven self-contained units or vacant land that is zoned for multi-residential development.
- If several applications or appeals were heard together and one ARB decision was issued in respect of these matters, only one fee will be charged to review the decision.
- ARB fees are not determined by MPACs property classification. According to the Assessment Review Board Act, 8.1 the ARB has the authority to set the fees for the appeals.
- There is no discount for e-filed tax appeals.
*Used by the ARB to distinguish between an application and an appeal that are legislated by the same section number.
