This year, residential property owners who qualify can receive a rebate on school taxes for 2025. To qualify, the property must be your primary residence, a single dwelling unit and the only property to receive the credit in Manitoba. For this credit to be applied directly to your property tax notice you must apply to the City of Brandon in person or online at https://onlineservices.brandon.ca/updateinfo.aspx.

Farm property owners are receiving a 50 percent rebate of school taxes for 2025, applied directly to their property tax notice and do not need to pre-qualify.

If HATC is not received on the current years' property tax bill, the tax credit may be claimed via personal income tax return.

Notice to Homeowners - The Province of Manitoba has extended the deadline to self-declare your principal residence for the 2025 Homeowners Affordability Tax Credit to November 15^th, 2025. More information can be found here.
