EAP Technical Committee Recommendation

Item: 4

Title: Actual Use Codes

EAP Recommendation: I. 5. 6A

Question: The attached code set (ASB standard codes for classifying property based on currentuse) comes into effect no later than April I, 2002. Each municipality must create and maintain across reference between their code set and the ASB standard code set. What assessor-relatedbarriers need to be overcome to achieve this schedule? Specifically:

.For municipalities that don't currently utilize Actual Use data.

.Situations where municipality Actual Use codes items are split across ASB code items-

.CAMA systems changes (if any).

.Data conversion in the CAMA systems (if any).

.Definitions and examples?

Background:Sharing assessment data between municipalities necessitates that every municipality use a singleset of codes or that a cross-reference schema be established to translate between eachmunicipality's custom code set. ASB has chosen the latter approach for this matter. The code setmeets ASB needs for province-wide information collection. While a municipality may choose toadopt the ASB code set as their standard, there is no need to do so. Using ASSET, eachmunicipality will maintain the cross reference between its custom code set and the ASB standardset. Any number (zero, one or many) of municipality custom codes may map to one and only oneASB standard code.

Recommendation: The attached schedule of actual use codes is the draft ASSET standard foreach municipality to maintain a cross-reference table on ASSET. The use of these codes shouldbe dealt with in the Minister's Guidelines.Municipalities will be required to at least cross-reference to level 1 for tax year 2002, and will berequired to cross-reference to the entire code set for tax year 2004.

Recommendation Background:Municipalities are currently required to maintain actual use codes.
