The appellants appealed the MPAC property assessment of their seasonal, water-access island cottage on Lake Temagami for the 2017 and 2018 taxation years.

MPAC assessed the current value at $316,000, while the appellants argued for a value of $235,000 due to the property's basic construction, lack of hydro, and distance from the access point.

The Assessment Review Board analyzed comparable sales provided by both parties.

The Board concluded that the property's correct current value was $300,000, reducing the assessment accordingly.
