Municipal Change Profile
User Guide
This User Guide provides detailed instruction to support users in accessing data
and reports associated with the Municipal Change Profile (MCP) via Municipal
Connect.
Brief explanations of the data and reports are also included in this guide, to assist
in interpreting the information and graphic summaries provided.
MPAC provided all lower-tier, single-tier and upper-tier municipalities with three
separate Municipal Change Profile (MCP) deliveries: a preliminary product
extracted on June 28, 2016, a final Notice Based extract in October (tentative) and
a final MCP based on Assessment Roll values. The MCP will continue to capture
an estimate of assessment growth, as well as an estimated market change
between the 2012 and 2016 Current Value Assessments.
In preparation for the mailing of farm and business property Notices this fall, MPAC
provided municipalities with a preliminary look at 2016 values through Municipal
Connect 2.0.
Property Assessment Notices for farm and business properties were mailed this
fall and over the next few months, MPAC valuation staff will continue to finalize
values.
The July 19 release of preliminary farm and business values provided
municipalities with an early snapshot of the market change for each property
sector and property class in their municipality.
It was not intended to be used for preliminary tax planning purposes.
Municipalities should review this information to become familiar with the overall
market changes in their municipality.

CVA Base Year Change Report – Total Assessed Value by Realty Tax Class (RTC)
This report captures the impact of the assessment update between the two base years comparing
total assessed value by Realty Tax Class (RTC). It is further illustrated by Taxable, Shared Paymentin-Lieu, Payment-in-Lieu & Exempt Assessed Values, as well as a summary.
The 2012 Value Estimate column represents the assessed value on MPAC’s database immediately prior to assessment
notice and roll production. In addition to reflecting values returned on last year’s Roll, they also include in-year changes.
The 2016 Value Estimate column represents the destination 2016 CVA.
The Change in Value Estimate column illustrates the increase or decrease between the 2012 Value Estimate and the 2016
Value Estimate and the % Change in Value Estimate reflects the percentage increase or decrease.
The Taxable Assessed Value report identifies the assessed value of Taxable property within a municipality excluding
Shared P-I-L, Payment-in-Lieu and Exempt.
The Shared Payment-In-Lieu Assessed Value report identifies the assessed value of Shared P-I-L properties within a
municipality, excluding Taxable, P-I-L and Exempt. The assessed values of these types of properties are classed as Shared
P-I-L and treated as taxable properties; a Hydro One Networks Inc. owned transformer station is an example of such a
property.
The Payment-in-Lieu Assessed Value report identifies the assessed value of Payment-in Lieu properties within a
municipality excluding Taxable, Shared P-I-L and Exempt. These properties are exempt from taxation and are eligible to
have payments made to the municipality by the provincial or federal governments.
The Exempt Assessed Value report illustrates the assessed value of exempt properties within a municipality excluding
Taxable, Shared P-I-L and Payment-in-Lieu. These properties are assessed but not taxed (eg. schools, hospitals, churches).
A Summary of the taxable, shared P-I-L, payment-in-lieu and exempt assessed values is also provided.

CVA Base Year Change Report – Median Assessed Value by Selected Residential
Property Codes
This report captures the impact of the assessment update between the two base years comparing
median assessed values of selected residential property codes.
The pie chart illustrates the breakdown of various types of residential properties within the municipality (eg. single family,
condo, duplex, triplex, waterfront etc.). The property count reflects all roll numbers having the given property code at the time
of MCP production. The table identifies the impact on the median assessed value on specific residential property codes.
The median is defined as the mid-point value having an equal number of properties above and below it. This rule is applied
in calculating the median for each property code, and also utilized in determining the values for Grand Total Value Estimates
and Percentage Change.

CVA Base Year Change Report – Average Assessed Value by Selected Residential
Property Codes
This report captures the impact of the assessment update between the two base years comparing
average assessed values of selected residential property codes.
The property count reflects all roll numbers having the given property code at the time of the MCP production.
The average is defined as the sum of all the values in a selected property code divided by the total number of properties
within that code. The rule is applied in calculating the average for each property code, and also utilized in determining the
values for Grand Total Value Estimates and Percentage Change.

CVA Base Year Change Report – Total Assessed Value by Realty Tax Class & Qualifier
(RTC/RTQ)
This report captures the impact of the assessment update between the two base years comparing
total assessed value by every RTC/RTQ combination within the municipality.
Notes:
The Count on this report represents the number of assessable subordinates (frequency), rather than number of properties.
Utility Transmission and Distribution Corridors (U) and Railway Rights-of-Way (W) are linear properties that are
taxable based on acreage, therefore the values are set to zero for this report.

Estimated Growth Report (Continued)
Growth: is determined as the difference between values returned on the current Roll and the last returned Roll.
All value and classification changes made on MPAC's database during this time is included in this estimation of
Growth, including: supplementaries, omitted assessments, Assessment Review Board decisions, Request for
Reconsideration results, 357 applications, newly created and deleted properties and all other in-year changes.
Estimated Growth Report by Property Code
This report reflects growth at the property code level.
Note: Any one specific property may have changed property codes between counts causing a loss in one with
an offsetting gain in another. (i.e. a property code 100 vacant land on the last returned Roll may be a 301 single
family detached by current Roll return.)
The Growth in % provides an estimation of the growth during the 2012 taxation. The calculation is based on
the following formula:
Growth in % =
During Tax Year 2016 – 2015 Roll Value
2015 Roll Value
x 100
or, in the example below for Commercial:
0.94%
=
63,952,700 – 63,359,900
62,359,900

Notes:
Where multiple Tax Classes exist on a property the roll number will appear several times, with a sequence
number for each portion. The RTC/RTQ and Portions will differ. All other data will be constant for the property,
including the Property Total. The Property Total appears on every line, so most analysis should be completed
on the Portion.
