Non-profit Property Tax Rebate Program Updated
The Non-profit Property Tax Rebate Program page now shows a dedicated application process for eligible charities and non-profit organizations, including the required Tax Rebate Application for Charitable Organizations and supporting documents. Applicants must submit the complete application to City Hall at 50 Church St. between January 1 of the tax year and February 28 of the following year. The eligibility section now states that the organization must be a charitable organization registered with the Canada Revenue Agency and be paying commercial or industrial property taxes on the property it occupies. This is more detailed than the earlier, broader mention of the charitable rebate and now makes the required proof and filing window explicit.
