The Municipalities Act provides that certain dwellings (residences/homes) in an RM are exempt from taxation. Section 293 Exemptions are provided for primary farm residences to an amount equivalent to the agriculture land base leased or owned, as long as the residence is occupied by the principal owner. This also applies to owned or leased land in an adjoining municipality.
Occupied Residences Located In Hamlets, Organized Hamlets (OH), Or Special Service Areas (SSA) Are Not Eligible To Receive A Tax Exemption.
A 293 Exemption Form must be sent to the RM office on new exemptions (leased and neighboring RMs land) prior to the annual March 31st deadline.
