Latest change: The page now includes a broader property tax relief hub with multiple programs, updated application instructions, and new contact details for tax adjustment inquiries.
Property tax relief content expanded
The Property Tax Adjustments page now presents a broader property tax relief hub rather than only the municipal adjustment form. It adds several related programs, including farm property tax relief, managed forest incentives, conservation land exemptions, senior homeowner support, relief for low-income seniors and disabled persons, and registered charity tax relief. The tax adjustment instructions also changed to direct applicants to email treasury@westlincoln.ca and include specific items such as reason for application and effective dates. The page additionally now includes privacy policy content and expanded program contact information, so the scope and application guidance are broader than before.
