As the city filed it

This report deals with tax appeal applications made to the Treasurer pursuant to Sections 323 and 325 of the City of Toronto Act, 2006 (COTA). Section 323 permits City Council to cancel, reduce, or refund taxes in cases when, during the year, a property undergoes changes such as when it is destroyed by fire or demolished, becomes exempt from taxation, or is reclassified due to a change in use. Under Section 325 of the COTA, taxpayers can request a cancellation, reduction, or refund of taxes when an error in the assessment roll is identified which results in an overcharge.
