Taxation, Supplementary Bills and Adjustments

Supplementary bills are issued based on the revised assessment values received from the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation.

You may receive a retroactive tax bill even two or three years after your new home or improvement has been completed. Each year will be billed on a separate tax bill.

Please be aware that these supplementary tax bills may be substantial and prepare accordingly. These will not be part of any pre-authorized payment plan.

Farm Property Class Owners

Assessment notices and assessment change documents received from the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation should be checked carefully to ensure that properties that are being farmed are in the Farmland Property Class.

Most ownership changes will revert the property class to residential. If you wish to be placed back in the Farmland Property Class you must be properly registered with the Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Contact their customer service at 1-800-469-2285 or www.agricorp.com

Commercial - Industrial Vacancy Rebate

Commercial and industrial property owners may be eligible for a tax rebate where buildings were entirely or partially vacant for a minimum period of 90 (consecutive) days in the calendar year.

Applications must be filed every year.

An interim application may be submitted by July 31st of any year with respect to the period January 1 to June 30 of that year. The deadline for submitting applications is February 28th of the year following the taxation year to which the application relates.
