The TIPP program collects taxes for the calendar year January 1st to December 31st and ensures that all taxes are paid in full without penalty. More information can be found HERE.

Tax Statements
Tax Statements are mailed out each year in June/July. If you are moving please provide us with your new civic address and complete mailing address. It is most important that the Town be advised promptly of any change of ownership or mailing address in order to ensure that the tax statement is properly forwarded. If, however, an ownership change occurs and you receive a tax bill for a property you no longer own, please forward the tax bill to the current owner or return it immediately to the Town. It should be noted that failure to receive a bill does NOT excuse an owner from responsibility for payment of taxes nor relieve that owner from liability for any late payment penalty.
NEW! Manitoba Education Property Tax REBATE Program

Residential and farm property owners will receive an Education Property Tax Rebate cheque for 50% of their school division tax levy in the month their taxes are due to reduce a portion of their education property taxes.
