The Assessment Department proposed removing specific policy direction in the Assessment Manual regarding the registration of property management firms and building owners as the direction was both misleading and redundant. If this section of policy were removed, the general principles outlined elsewhere in the Assessment Manual would be used to determine when property management firms and building owners should register.

The Policy and Regulation Division prepared a discussion paper for stakeholder review and comment on whether this policy should be removed.
