MACA assesses property for most NWT communities. Some communities, such as Yellowknife, assess and collect their own taxes, while others such as Hay River or Fort Smith have their assessments done under contract with MACA but collect their own taxes. A property's value can go up or down, depending on changes in any of these factors.
Funding is available for tax relief for seniors and disabled property owners.
For more information, contact MACA at the phone number listed below. Over the next three to four years, MACA will be delegating authority to collect taxes to more NWT communities but will still be involved with the assessments. For other questions about assessment, taxation or the appeal process, please contact the senior assessor for your region.
