The City of Steinbach would like to remind local residents that the due date for property owners to pay their annual tax bills is Friday, September 29th, 2017.
Tax bills issued this year total about $31 million. Approximately 47 percent of this amount fund municipal programs including the City’s summer beautification program, street maintenance and snow clearing functions. It also funds a variety of Steinbach projects, including:
- New sidewalk construction along the north side of Clearwater Avenue as part of the Neighborhood Sidewalk Program;
- Expansion of water supply system;
- Main Street intersection walkways replacement;
- Sewer line replacement at Chrysler Gate;
- Water main replacement on Oak Crescent, Sunrise Bay, Fourth Street, and Wilson Street;
- New asphalt overlay on Giesbrecht Street, Blair Bay, Clover Bay, McKenzie Avenue, and at the intersection of McKenzie Avenue and Chapel Drive/Barkman Avenue.
The remaining 53 percent of the annual tax levy is forwarded to the Province of Manitoba and the Hanover School Division to fund various school system projects and programs.
Comparatively, Steinbach continues to be among the lowest property tax rates in the province.
