Amending O. Reg. 282/98

(General)

1. Section 41 of Ontario Regulation 282/98 is revoked.

2. The Regulation is amended by adding the following section immediately before the heading “Assessed Value of Pipe Line in a Right-of-Way or Easement”:

41.2 (1) For the 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 taxation years, the assessed value of a pipe line shall be determined as follows:

1. The length of the pipe line in feet shall be multiplied by the applicable rate in Table 11, 12 or 13 of Part X.  Table 11 applies to offshore pipe lines.  Table 12 applies to plastic field gathering pipe lines and plastic gas distribution pipe lines.  Table 13 applies to other pipe lines.

2. The amount determined under paragraph 1 shall be depreciated by reducing the amount by the applicable percentage in Table 14 for offshore pipe lines and in Table 15 for plastic field gathering pipe lines, plastic gas distribution pipe lines and other pipe lines.

3. After the reduction under paragraph 2, $250 shall be added for each connection to an end user.

(2) If Table 11, 12 or 13 applies, but the outside diameter of the pipe line is not included in the Table, the applicable rate for the purposes of paragraph 1 of subsection (1) is the rate for the closest outside diameter or range of outside diameter that is included in the Table.

3. (1) Tables 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 in Part X of the Regulation are revoked.
