Mr Strohschein requests council cancel $523 38 of his 1993
taxes. He had purchased additional land in February of 1993
from his father in order that his house would be fully exempted
from taxation
However, although an ownership change was recorded on the tax
roll for 1993 and he received the tax notice for the extra
quarter, the change to his farm unit will not take effect until
January of 1994 The only way the change to his farm unit could
have taken place in 1993 was through court of revision and this
was not done A land owner may lose in the year he buys more
land (after assessment roll is complete) but the year he sells
land he may gain
Executive Committee recommend Mr Strohschein be advised„ no
changes can be made to the assessment roll throughout the year,
his farm unit will be changed for 1994 and no cancell ion of
1993 taxes can be granted
