Tax Programs & Exemptions
Farm Property Class Tax Rate Program
One way the Government of Ontario supports agriculture is through the Farm Property Class Tax Rate Program, also known as the “Farm Tax Program.” Your farmland will be taxed at no more than 25% of your municipality’s residential property tax rate, if eligible.
Farm Forestry Exemption
The Farm Forestry Exemption (FFE) is a tax exemption designed to protect wooded areas. Farmers with a farm property or farm property holdings with wooded areas not used directly in the farm operation may qualify for the FFE.
Managed Forest Tax Incentive Program
One way the Government of Ontario supports agriculture is through the Farm Property Class Tax Rate Program, also known as the “Farm Tax Program.” Your farmland will be taxed at no more than 25% of your municipality’s residential property tax rate, if eligible.
Conservation Land Tax Incentive Program
The Conservation Land Tax Incentive Program recognizes, encourages and supports the long-term private stewardship of Ontario’s provincially important natural areas. Under the Conservation Land Tax Incentive Program, portions of your property that have eligible natural heritage features may qualify for a 100% property tax exemption.
Failure to receive a tax bill does not excuse a taxpayer from the responsibility for payment nor relieve the liability of penalty for late payment.
