Taxes & Assessment
Provincial Legislation requires that the municipality bill and collect taxes on behalf of the Province and local School Division for education purposes, as well as municipal taxes in order to provide essential services to the R.M.
Taxes are calculated from January – December, with the due date being October 31st of each year (Statements are mailed at the end of July).
It should be noted that failure to receive a tax bill does not excuse a property owner from the responsibility for payment of taxes nor relieve that owner from liability for any late payment. Tax arrears and penalties must be paid in full before payment can be applied to current taxes. Properties in arrears for taxes for two years or more will be eligible for tax sale.

Manitoba Homeowners Rebate
If you are a Manitoba resident who pays more than $250 in taxes in a year on the property you reside on, you are entitled to a Manitoba Education Property Tax Credit (EPTC).
The current credit is $350.
There are three ways to claim the EPTC if you are entitled to receive it.
Automatically: The vast majority of homeowners automatically receive the basic credit as a reduction on their municipal property tax bills.
By application: In a few cases, homeowners may not receive the EPTC Advance automatically. This may be the case if you have only recently moved into your house. If the EPTC Advance is not on your property tax bill, and you have lived in the residence since at least January 1 of the current year, you can submit an application until November 15 for the reduction prior to the time when the property taxes are due. Upon approval of your application, you will be able to pay your current property taxes minus the EPTC Advance. After November 15, you may claim your credit on your income tax return. For an application, see the "forms” section of this website.
On your income tax return: The EPTC can be claimed on the Manitoba portion of you income tax return.
Address Changes
It is important that our office be notified as soon as possible whenever there is a change of address to ensure that the tax statements are properly forwarded to the property owner. Failure to receive a tax statement does not excuse an owner from not paying the tax account by the due date or associated penalties. It is important that the Municipal Office be advised of any change in mailing address in order to ensure that the tax bill is properly forwarded.
Ownership Changes
The name and address which appear on your tax statement are in accordance with the information and advise which have been made available to the Municipal Office. If the property is in the process of a change in ownership it is the responsibility of the person so named on the tax bill to ensure payment is made. If, however, an ownership change has since occurred, please forward the enclosed bill to the current owner or return it immediately to the Municipal Office. It is important that the Municipal Office be advised of any change in ownership in order to ensure that the tax bill is properly forwarded.
Property Assessment & Appeals
Taxes are all based on assessment, in Manitoba, property is assessed at market value in accordance with The Municipal Assessment Act. Market value is the most probable selling price of the property had it been sold by a willing buyer to a willing seller. Regular reassessments ensure that property assessments keep pace with real estate market conditions, and taxes are distributed fairly to property owners.
Property owners who disagree with the assessment of their property should contact the Assessment Branch to discuss their concerns with an assessor. Contact the Assessment Services in Minnedosa by calling 204-867-4760 or 1-866-401-8983. Please quote the Roll Number appearing at the top corner of your tax statement.
Assessment figures are public information and available for viewing at the municipal office or you can also search property assessments online, on the Province of Manitoba website. Although assessment figures are available, tax amounts are not public information and only given out to the landowner, unless a tax certificate is requested which has a fee of $30.00 per property.
