The appellants appealed the property tax assessment of their waterfront residential property for the 2017 and 2018 taxation years.

MPAC assessed the property at $511,000, while the appellants argued for a value of $424,780 based on comparable sales and the lack of municipal services in their township.

The Assessment Review Board found that the best comparable sale supported a value of $425,000, noting that the lack of fire services and distance from the highway offset the subject property's superior features.

The appeal was allowed and the assessment was reduced to $425,000.
