Property Assessment Notice enquiries – We’re here to help

Your office may hear from constituents who received a Property Assessment Notice (PAN) last November and either don’t understand what it means or disagree with what it says.

Our office is here to support you through these enquiries. You can always contact your MPAC liaison James Harvey for assistance or you can review some of our online resources which can walk your constituents through how to read a property assessment notice, why they may have received a notice, and what to do if they disagree with their assessment.

From spacious homes to compact condos: MPAC data reveals shifting housing trends across Ontario

Housing development across Ontario has undergone significant shifts in recent decades, reflecting an evolving economy, changing consumer preferences for housing type, and affordability considerations of current and prospective homeowners. We recently released new data showing that the types of homes and sizes have evolved across the province, highlighting regional variability in housing patterns. Here are some highlights:

• Shift in housing types: Single-detached homes have declined, especially in urban areas like the GTA, while condo development has risen. By 2020, condos accounted for 41 per cent of new builds, surpassing single-detached homes at 38 per cent.

• Growth in single-detached house sizes: The median size of single-detached homes has increased from 1,317 sq ft in the 1970s to 2,383 sq ft in the 2020s, reflecting a growing preference for larger homes.

• Decline in condo sizes: The median size of condos has decreased by 32 per cent, from 965 sq ft in the 1970s to 658 sq ft today, driven by higher construction and land costs, as well as condos' appeal as investment properties.
