Property Tax Rebate for Seniors helps low-income seniors with the cost of municipal residential property taxes. Rebates are 50% of what you paid on last year’s property taxes, up to a maximum of $800. You can apply until December 31st each year.

To qualify for the rebate, you need to meet all of the following criteria:

• your municipal residential property taxes for the previous year are paid in full
• you lived at the property as your primary residence in the previous year
• you receive or are eligible to receive the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) or the Allowance from Service Canada

If you’re not already receiving the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) or the Allowance, you can check with Service Canada to see if you’re eligible for them.
