Starting in 2025, the School Tax Rebate and Manitoba Education Property Tax Credit will be replaced by the new Homeowners Affordability Tax Credit (HATC) of up to $1,500 on principal residences.
Homeowners currently receiving the Manitoba Education Property Tax Credit Advance (MEPTCA) will be automatically rolled over to the HATC if there is no ownership change.
To qualify for the HATC, the property must be your principal residence; a single dwelling unit; and you and/or your spouse or common law partner must not be receiving the credit for another residence in Manitoba.
Please contact the City at 204-326-9877 if you have recently moved and the above criteria are met, or request to designate your principal residence to have the credit applied directly to your property tax statement.
Additional information can be found on the Province of Manitoba website: https://www.gov.mb.ca/finance/tao/hatc.html
The deadline to apply for 2025 has been extended to November 15, 2025.
Please note:
- The HATC applies only to residential properties that are designated as principal residences.
- Farm properties will continue to receive the Manitoba School Tax Rebate, which is maintained at 50 percent.
- There are no provincial property tax credits or rebates to be applied to commercial properties.
