Permissive Tax Exemptions

Under the provisions of Section 224 of the Community Charter, Council may, on or before October 31, exempt land and/or improvements from municipal property taxes for the next calendar year, subject to meeting certain requirements which in general, restrict exemption to non-profit organizations using the lands for specific non-profit purposes.

Policy No. 6.15 requires your organization to submit a copy of its most recent financial statements and budget, as well as a copy of the latest registered charity or non-profit organization information return. Also, please take note of Section 5 of the policy which sets out future reductions in permissive tax exemption allocations. In accordance with the policy, the allocation for exemptions will be reduced over time from 2.5% of the annual budget to 1.67% of the annual budget. This may result in proportionately reduced exemptions for all recipients.

Please see the policy below for eligibility and criteria.
