Property tax statements for the City of Steinbach have been mailed out and are due September 28, 2018.
The City notes that tax statements are mailed to the current owners at time of printing. It is the property owners’ responsibility to obtain a copy should they have recently purchased a property and not received a tax statement.
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 Lyndhurst Gate, Brighton Lane, and Parkhill Crescent as part of the Neighborhood Sidewalk Program;
- Expansion of water supply system;
- New asphalt overlay on Hespeler Street North from Tower Avenue to Loewen Boulevard;
- Concrete roadway construction on McKenzie Avenue from Lilac to Brandt;
- Replacement of aging vehicles and equipment.
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.
The City reminds property owners that if you have not received a copy of your tax statement by July 6, 2018, or if your mailing address has changed recently, please contact City Hall at 204-326-9877 or email taxes@steinbach.ca.
