Published: 09 May 2022

Residential Property Tax Assistance Program for webDeadline to apply is June 30, 2022

Struggling to pay your property taxes? Applications are now available for the 2022-23 Residential Property Tax Assistance Program. Qualified applicants receive a rebate in the form of a credit applied to their tax account.

Each year, Council sets the exemption rate per Section 69 of the Municipal Government Act, and as outlined in our Residential Property Tax Assistance Policy.

If household taxable income does not exceed $26,337.30 for 2021, taxpayers may be eligible for a credit. This credit can be up to 50% of the current year's property taxes but there is a maximum amount based on community, as follows:

• West Hants $117.99
• Community of Hantsport $164.34
• Community of Windsor $ $210.70

Submit CRA Notices of Assessment as proof of income for all residing in your household. Remember that taxable income is less than total income. Factor in deductions such as childcare, RRSP contributions, and union dues. You may qualify and not know it! 

Click here to download the application or call us at 902-798-8391 to request a form.
