MPAC transfers a lot of information by paper and CD-ROM to customers. These formats can be easily misplaced or destroyed. By establishing this electronic partnership, MPAC and municipalities will be able to exchange information more quickly and easily.
In addition to the most up-to-date information, Municipal Connect™ offers a number of web-enabled reports (i.e. control totals, supplementaries/omits, and population reports) allowing municipalities to access and generate reports when needed. MPAC is also in the process of building a database of digital photos of property structures.

Will I continue to receive assessment information from MPAC by mail? |
Top^ |
|
Yes. MPAC will continue to send municipalities assessment information on CD-ROM.
|
| What are the technology requirements? |
Top^ |
|
In order to use Municipal Connect™, you need a Pentium computer with at least a 56K modem. Since the program is accessed through MPAC's web site (www.mpac.ca), you will also require Internet access.

| How does Municipal Connect™ work? |

Each municipality that signs up is provided with an administration account used to create users, modify user access and reset passwords.
Once logged on, you have three search options: Quick Search, Basic Search and Advanced Query Builder. After you have located the property in question, you can access details such as owner name, location, legal descriptions, frontage, depth, roll value, school support, and more.
