GLOBE launched a series examining global tax structure overhauls. The series highlights the situation in Ontario, where municipal property reassessments have not been conducted in ten years. In Ontario, property taxes are determined by a local tax rate and the estimated value of the property, which is set by the Municipal Property Tax Assessment Corporation.
