Property owners in Stonewall, Manitoba, have until September 29 to pay their 2026 property taxes without penalty, the Town of Stonewall announced.
The town office will be closed September 30 in observance of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, leaving September 29 as the final business day to make payments in person before interest charges begin.
A 1.25 percent monthly penalty will be added to any outstanding balances starting October 1.
Residents have several payment options, including online banking, mail, a lock-box drop-off at the town office, and the new eServices portal at stonewall.townsuite.com. In-person payments are accepted Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Credit card payments are subject to a 2.85 percent service charge.
The town also offers a Tax Installment Payment Plan, which allows ratepayers to spread payments evenly throughout the year through automatic monthly withdrawals.
This year, the Manitoba Homeowners Affordability Tax Credit provides up to $1,600 toward the school portion of property taxes for eligible principal residences. The maximum credit increased from $1,500 in 2025 and is applied directly to tax statements.
The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation became a statutory holiday in Manitoba in late 2023, with its first observance in 2024, and commemorates Indigenous children who attended residential schools.
