MPAC’s Property Income and Expense Return (PIER), the largest data collection initiative undertaken through the Assessment Information Request Program, kicked off on May 12. Approximately 35,000 letters were mailed out to owners of income-generating properties requesting income, expense and rental information. These properties include retail stores, hotels, motels, multi-residential properties, golf courses, offices and industrial malls. Property owners have until July 14 to submit their information.
The information collected through this program is vital to our work. It supports the development of accurate property assessments and ensures our database is up to date.
