E-16 - Real Estate Assessment Act

Section 34 Disposition versions

1977-12-31

34. The Minister, from information permitting him to beleive that it is desirable to have the jurisdiction in real estate assessment matters of a city or town corporation not part of a Community exercised by another municipality, may request such two municipalities to try to come to an agreement on such transfer of jurisdiction.

If such municipalities cannot make an agreement within ninety days of the sending of the request of the Minister, he may request the Commission to hold a public inquiry on the advisibility of such transfer of jurisdiction.

If the Commission believes, after an inquiry, that such transfer of jurisdiction appears desirable to it, it must order the transfer of jurisdiction.

The rights and obligations in real estate assessment matters of the local municipality whose exercise of jurisdiction is transferred shall devolve to the designated municipality only from the coming into force of the order of the Commission. The control of expenses for the exercise of such jurisdiction is made under the conditions agreed to between the parties or, failing agreement, on the conditions determined by the Commission after inquiry.
