Authority

The Assessment & Valuation Division has the legal authority to request and collect this type of data through The Cities Act SS 2002, c C-11.1 

Assessors have authority to ask for information relating to the property and the property income and expenses under Section 171 of The Cities Act.  This data can be requested from “…any person who owns, uses, occupies, manages or disposes of the property.” (171(1)). 

Included in The Cities Act, is a requirement that the person who receives the request shall provide a “… written declaration signed by the person stating that the information provided by the person is complete, true and accurate to the best of his or her knowledge.”  (171(4)(a))

The Cities Act allows the assessor to set a reasonable response deadline of “…not less than 30 days after the date of receiving the request.” (171(4))

The legislation outlining penalties for failure to provide information or supplying incorrect information is stated in The Cities Act Section 172, Subsections 1 to 8.  Those sanctions include fines of up to $10,000, and loss of the right to appeal the assessment of the property.
