The City of Steinbach 2016 property tax statements have been mailed out to local property owners and are due by September 30th of this year.
The City notes that tax statements are mailed to the current property owners at time of printing and it is the responsibility of the property owner to obtain a copy should they have recently purchased a property and not received a tax statement.
Tax bills issued this year total about $29.3 million. Approximately 47 percent of the collections fund municipal programs including the City’s summer beautification program, street maintenance and snow clearing functions. It will also go towards a variety of Steinbach projects, including:
- new washroom and change room facilities at the Steinbach Soccer Park

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.
