Property Tax Information
How are Property Taxes Calculated
Property taxes are calculated by applying municipal and school mill rates against the portioned assessment of your property. For calculating taxes, one mill represents $1.00 of taxes for every $1,000.00 of portioned assessment.
Tax Statements
Property tax statements are issued each year in accordance with the latest property ownership information provided to the Municipality. If an ownership change has occurred, please forward the property tax statement to the current owner or return it immediately to the Municipal Office. Failure to receive a bill does not excuse an owner from responsibility for payment of taxes or application of late penalties.
Penalty
Taxes are due by October 31. Penalty on arrears is calculated at 1.25% per month commencing on November 1. Penalties are calculated and added on the first day of each month that the taxes remain unpaid. Lands in arrears for more than one year will be subject to tax sale. Arrears that are shown on your tax bill are subject to further penalties.
The effective date for payments made to the R.M. of St. Andrews will be the actual day of receipt by the Municipal Office. To avoid late fees, mail in a postdated cheque and allow ample time for the payment to be received at the office or allow 4 to 5 business days for online payments to be processed by your financial institution and the R.M. of St. Andrews financial institution.
For your convenience, there is a dropbox located at the entrance of the Municipal Office for those who are unable to attend during office hours.
Tax Receipts
Tax receipts will only be issued upon request.

Each year the municipality holds a public auction which is advertised in the Selkirk Record as well as posted on the home page of our website under Municipal News. This notice will list all the details of the auction along with a list of the properties up for sale. TAXervice manages the entire tax sale process for the municipality. Property owners have right until the time of the auction to redeem the property. If a property goes into tax sale proceedings, extra costs will be added for advertising, legal fees etc.
Tax Credit Programs
Manitoba Education Property Tax Credit (EPTC)
August 2023 - For 2023, owners of residential and farm properties will receive a 50 per cent rebate of the school division special levy payable. Residential properties include single dwelling units, condos and multiple unit dwellings. The School Tax Rebate will be based on the school division special levy before the Education Property Tax Credit Advance.
The school tax rebate will be applied to those who qualify. This additional rebate will be sent BY THE PROVINCE at the end of October, when the taxes are due. This initiative is through the PROVINCE, not the RM. You can call 1-866-626-4862 or visit www.manitoba.ca/edupropertytax if you have questions or have not received your rebate.
The EPTC Advance can only be claimed on a homeowner's principal residence.
In order to qualify for the EPTC Advance on your taxes:
1. The property must be your principal residence.
2. The property must be assessed as a single residential dwelling.
3. The homeowner cannot be receiving the credit on another home elsewhere in the Province.
If you rent an apartment, then you may be entitled to the tax credit, however you will need to claim the tax credit on your income tax return.
If you have not received the EPTC on your current year's property tax bill, you will need to claim the tax credit for the current year on your income tax return.
In order to apply to have the credit added to your next year's property tax bill , you will need to fill out a Self-Declaration Form which can be obtained from the R.M. of St. Andrews Municipal Office.
