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. 

Payment Options
There are a number of ways to pay your annual property taxes.

1.  Mail:
Mail a cheque payable to the R.M. of St. Andrews together with the bottom stub portion of the tax bill to:

R.M. of St. Andrews
P.O. Box 130
Clandeboye, MB R0C 0P0

Note: Please write your roll number on the cheque and ensure your payment is made before the deadline and received at the RM Office on or before October 31st (including those sent via mail). Any mail or other payments received after October 31st will be considered late and a 1.25% penalty will be charged. Post dated cheques are welcome.
 
2.  In Person at 500 Railway Avenue: 
Payment can be made at the Municipal Office located at 500 Railway Avenue in Clandeboye. We accept cash, cheque and debit. Credit cards are not accepted.
 
3.  Online:
Set up a payment option for property taxes with your financial institution (shown below), using your roll number as your account number.  To do this, you must access your existing on-line bill payment system through your financial institution's website and add the R.M. of St. Andrews as a Payee. You will then use your Roll Number, without the decimal, as the account number. The account number must be a total of 9 digits.  Please be sure to allow at least 5 business days for processing of payment. 
 
For example:
If you have a roll no. with 4 digits such as 1917 - you would enter 001917000 (two zeros in front and 3 at the end)
If you have a roll no. with 5 digits such as 43605 - you would enter 043605000 (one zero in front and 3 at the end)

Tax Credit Programs
 
NEW FOR 2025 - HOMEOWNERS AFFORDABILITY TAX CREDIT (HATC)

Changes coming to the Education Tax Credit on your 2025 Property Tax Bill

The Province of Manitoba has removed  the Education Property Tax Credit (EPTCA) and School Tax Credit for residential properties and has replaced it with the Homeowners Affordability Tax Credit (HATC). This credit applies to principal residences only and will be up to a maximum of $1,500 credit directly on your tax bill.

To qualify for the HATC, the property must be your principal residence and you must be residing there as of January 1, 2025, and you must not be receiving the HATC or EPTCA on any other property. If you received the EPTCA in previous years, you do not need to apply for the HATC, it will automatically be rolled over. If you did not receive the EPTCA in previous years, you will need to apply for the HATC credit. To apply, fill out the application form here: HATC Application Form. Applications must be received by March 31, 2025.

For any questions about eligibility or applying for the HATC, contact the Municipal Office at 204-738-2264 or 1-866-738-2264 (toll free). 

For questions about the HATC program, please contact the Provincial Tax Assistance Office at tao@gov.mb.ca.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What changes are being made to school tax rebates and credits on my property tax statements for the 2025 tax year?

There are two key changes:

  • The School Tax Rebate, which provided a 50% rebate on school taxes for residential and farm properties, and a 10% rebate on school taxes for other properties, is being eliminated for all properties except farm properties. Farm properties will continue to receive the 50% rebate.
  • The Education Property Tax Credit (EPTC) is being replaced with the Homeowners Affordability Tax Credit (HATC) and is being increased to a maximum of $1,500. More details are provided in the questions below.
  • There is no additional seniors credit as part of the HATC, but the Seniors School Tax Rebate continues to be available.
When will the changes be implemented?

The changes will be in effect beginning in 2025.

Will the HATC apply to principal residences only?

Yes, HATC will apply to principal residences only. It does not apply to any other properties (rental properties, secondary residences/cottages, commercial properties, etc.).

Am I eligible for the HATC as a renter?

No, as a renter you are not eligible for the HATC. However, you may claim the Renters Tax Credit based on the duration and cost of rent.

How do I receive the HATC on my property tax statement?

Properties currently receiving the EPTC on their property tax statement should automatically be moved over to HATC if there is no ownership change. New home owners will have to designate their principal residence with their municipality in order to have the HATC applied to their property tax statement. Owners should contact their municipality for more information on how to do so.

Note that condominium owners whose properties are individually assessed can receive the HATC on their property tax statement like other homeowners. Owners who live on an assessed property that contains more than one dwelling unit (duplex, triplex etc.) cannot receive the HATC on their property tax statement but can claim the HATC on their tax return.

Will property owners still have the option to claim the HATC when filing their income tax return, instead of taking it as an advance on their property tax statement?

Yes. Homeowners that are eligible for the HATC may claim it on the income tax return. If it is not received on the property tax statement.

How will the HATC be calculated?

The amount of the HATC is the lesser of $1,500 and the gross school taxes on your principal residence.

What is happening with the Seniors School Tax Rebate?

The Seniors School Tax Rebate is being maintained at $235 minus 1% on family net annual income over $40,000 for principal residences only.

How will the School Tax Rebate on farm properties be calculated?

There are no changes to how the School Tax Rebate on farm properties works. It will continue to be 50 per cent of gross school taxes and will continue to be applied directly on the property tax statement.

Is there still a School Tax Rebate for commercial property?

No, the School Tax Rebate for commercial property is no longer in effect for 2025 and subsequent tax years.

How will these changes impact monthly property tax payment requirements, such Tax Instalment Payment Plans (TIPP)?

Monthly payment plans are determined by your local municipality based on your annual property tax requirements and how your municipality applies the HATC.


FARMLAND SCHOOL TAX REBATE

The maximum rebate is now up to 40 percent of the paid farmland school taxes and is limited to $2,500 per ratepayer, which includes all related persons of that ratepayer.

Application forms (corporate and individual) as well as more information on this program can be found on the MASC's website.


SENIORS' SCHOOL TAX REBATE
To be eligible for the Seniors’ School Tax Rebate, you or your spouse / common-law partner must:
  • be 65 years of age or older by the end of the year (December 31);
  • own your home or be liable for paying the school taxes on your principal residence;
  • live in your home; and
  • be residents of Manitoba.

The maximum Rebate for 2025 is $235 for eligible seniors.

The Rebate calculation is based on the total of residential school taxes assessed net of the Basic and Seniors Education Property Tax Credit received or receivable. In addition, for eligible senior households the Rebate is reduced by 1.0% of net family income over $40,000. Eligible seniors below the $40,000 income-tested threshold may be eligible for a full Rebate depending on the amount of school tax. Senior households with a family net income of $63,500 or higher are not eligible for the Rebate.
