1. What do I do if I do not agree with my property tax assessment?

Contact the Assessor from KCL via their website and fill in the inquiry form, this ensures that the assessor gets all the required information. You can also contact KCL Consulting at 1-888-419-2128 [toll free].

2. What do I do if I still do not agree with KCL Consulting?

If you are still certain that your assessment does not reflect what your property would likely sell for on the open market, you may file a written appeal to Assessment Review Board. On the back of your Combined Assessment and Tax Notice it shows the deadlines and steps you must take to file a formal complaint. 

Assessment Appeal Fees:

$50.00 per tax roll for residential properties with 3 or less dwelling units or farm properties.

$650.00 per tax roll for residential properties with 4 or more dwelling units 

$650.00 per tax roll for non-residential properties.

$30.00 per tax roll for Tax Notices other than Business.

$650.00 per tax roll for Linear property-Property Generation

$50.00 per Linear Property Assessment Unit Identification for Linear property Other 

$650.00 for Equalized Assessment

Note: under the Municipal Government Act, Section 460(6). “There is no right to make a complaint about any tax rate..” This means that you cannot appeal your taxes because you feel that they are too high. You only may appeal the assessment. To avoid penalty charges, you must first pay your taxes by June 30th EVEN if you plan to appeal your assessment.

3. I own a Trailer/mobile home in Lynnwood or Westside Village do I pay property taxes?

Designated Manufactured Homes Located at one of the trailers parks Lynnwood and Westside
Under the Municipal Government Act, designated manufactured homes include manufactured homes, mobile homes, modular homes and travel trailers.
In most circumstances, all designated manufactured homes are asses-able and taxable. This does NOT include land; the owner of the park is responsible for paying taxes on the land. The fee that you pay to the mobile home park is only for the pad/lot that you are renting to place your trailer on, this does NOT include water and sewer services or property tax. Homes that are moved into the municipality in the trailer parks MUST fill in the Manufactured Mobile Home Change Report, so that they are assessed and taxed accordingly. If you buy or sell your mobile home, you must also fill in the form.

Note: Taxes are the responsibility of the current owner of the home, even if there are taxes in arrears. Always ensure that any outstanding taxes have been paid in full prior to purchasing a designated mobile home.
