Property-owner's own tax assessment file fully disclosable; third-party property-tax records §8(1)(j) protected.
Ratio decidendi
A property owner is entitled to the full assessment file of their own property — valuation basis, tax calculation, payment history, dispute records. Third-party property owners' assessment data is §8(1)(j) personal information; summary rolls showing address-and-amount may be disclosed under §4(1)(b) transparency but individual payment history remains protected.
