Work out when yours is due for replacement · Compare with what municipalities assume

One source. This value rests on a single document (Amherstburg: Tangible Capital Assets Policy, Appendix A: TCA Categories, Life Years, and Thresholds, p7). Treat it as that source's figure, not a settled life, until others confirm it.

Basis

• 25 years · Amherstburg: Tangible Capital Assets Policy, Appendix A: TCA Categories, Life Years, and Thresholds, p7 · “Infrastructure - Transportation - Concrete Road Surface” (accounting life)
  Capital asset policy (amortization period). Approved on text check: the label and value were found on the cited page.

Open questions

• These are Ontario accounting lives from municipal capital asset policies, not planning or observed replacement data.
• A municipal minimum standard tied to the statutory defence in s.44 of the Municipal Act, 2001; patrolling is a drive-by observation of the whole road, not a component-level inspection. Not an official version.
