The Town of Morris, Manitoba, has released its official property tax rates for 2026, giving residents a clear look at their upcoming bills. Property owners can now use these figures to determine exactly how much they will contribute to local town services and regional school funding this year.
For residential properties, the town council has set a municipal tax rate of 23.030 and a school tax rate of 11.320. This brings the total residential tax rate to 34.350 for the 2026 tax year.
Commercial property owners will see a total tax rate of 41.467. While the municipal portion remains the same as residential at 23.030, the school portion for businesses is set at 18.437.
The school portion of the tax bill is collected on behalf of the Red River Valley School Division to fund local education. The municipal portion stays with the town to pay for essential services such as keeping roads maintained and managing local parks.
To help with the cost of living, the Province of Manitoba has increased a major tax credit for homeowners. The maximum Homeowners Affordability Tax Credit for a person’s main home has been raised to $1,600 for 2026, which is an increase from the $1,500 credit offered last year.
