section 33 of the assessment act defines the rules of valuation to be used by all assessors whether it be in our largest cities or our smallest villages or townships this section provides that land which includes any buildings erected on such land is to be as sessed at its actual value that is not o0 or 75- of value as is some times assumed but 100 of value thus section also states that when assessing land without buildings erected thereon consideration is to be given to the following fac tors location present use nor mal rental value normal sale value and any oilier circumstance affec ting the value then when assessing land with buildings erected thereon consid eration is to be given to the pres ent use location cost of replace- ment normal rental value normal sale value and any other circum stance affecting the value the amount to be placed for assessment purposes on the buildings is to be the amount by which thev increase the value of the land assessment example an example of this reasoning might lie of two brothers who erected identically similar houses in the city of braiuloni in wit one brother purchased a 100000 lot in a good residential section while the other purchased a 100 lot in a poor section the replace ment cost of either of the houses at 1010 values was 6000 in the good residential area the assessor was justified in placing the total replacement cost of the house 000000 for assessment pur poses as the house oy reason of its location rental value and sales value increased the value of the land by that amount however while the house on the poor lot cost just as much to erect its poor location lower rental and sales values lessened its actual appre ciation of the land so the assessor was quite justified in placing onlv 350000 on the building for assess ment purposes the same situation would devel op where two similar value houses were erected one in a city and one in a village a good brick house would cost as much to erect in the town of bala as in the city of toronto but due to its location lower rental and sales value the property would not be as valuable- to overcome this assessors use various methods to bring the as sessment value more in line witli its actual value some of these methods are by allowing depre ciation or location obsolescence or by using rental capitalization etc while objections may be found to any of these methods still if the system is applied fairly over the whole municipality there will be some degree of equity not only between properties of the same type or class but also between different types of properly the fact that a building is old does not necessarily mean a loss in value residences kept in a fair state of repair and in areas which have not gone down are worth in most cases many times their orig inal cost of erection more large old homes lose value because of their oversize and their present use as single residences when their better use would be apartments than on account of their age alone ise normal value year present day replacement costs and sales values are possibly very poor guides today in establishing assessment values for this reason the majority of assessors take the year 1010 as the normal value year when calculating their assessment values this ensures that even if real estate values decline in the future that property is not asses sed at over 100 of value in some municipalities sales values have appreciated as much as i00 over 1910 values while building costs generally have risen about 2i0 it will be readily seen from these figures that a person assessed on 1010 values has not much complaint unless he is in equitably assessed with his neigh bours or other property in the assessing area the provisions of section of the act detailed at the beginning of this article governs the method of making the assessment for all types and classes of property in all parts of ontario with the ex ception of railway telephone and telegraph properties etc and buildings used in connection with the production or storage of min erals mining buildings- used for this purpose are not assessable as a share of the profits of the mine is paid to the municipalities
