Legislation passed by the Province of Ontario requires municipalities to provide eligible charities with rebates of at least 40% of their property taxes.

Charities will be eligible for this mandatory rebate if they have a valid registration number issued by Canada Customs and Revenue Agency, and if they are occupying commercial or industrial property. Charities who are tenants of business property will be eligible for the rebate in the same way as property owners.

Applications must be made between January 1 and the end of February of a particular year for the rebate on the previous year's total taxes.

Registered charities must apply annually for the rebate by completing an application and returning it to the Municipality of Powassan by the due date.
