Description

The MLA Farm Property Assessment Review Committee was established in 1997 to review a number of issues related to the assessment and taxation of farm property in Alberta. The committee prepared a discussion paper, consulted with a wide range of stakeholders in the fall of 1998, and released a follow-up summary of the consultation feedback in May 1999 entitled Farm Consultation Report: Assessing Issues and Taking the Next Steps. In the following two years, the committee held further meetings with stakeholders to look at potential solutions to the issues, and conducted research into those options. A draft report was prepared for internal government review, and for review by a key stakeholders group of municipal and agricultural representatives.
