The Rural Municipality of Gimli began accepting new applications for the Homeowners Affordability Tax Credit on March 11, 2026. This provincial program, which has been increased for the 2026 tax year, helps homeowners in Gimli, Manitoba, manage their property taxes as the cost of living continues to rise.
The Rural Municipality of Gimli Council and administration are responsible for managing the application process for local residents. Homeowners who qualify for the credit can receive up to $1,600 in direct financial relief toward the school portion of the property taxes on their principal residence.
Local officials are encouraging residents to visit the municipal website or contact the RM office for help with the application. This financial support is intended to provide direct assistance to people dealing with high costs in the community.
While the program debuted in 2025, the maximum credit amount was increased by $100 for 2026 to further support local housing affordability. Specific details regarding eligibility rules and how to apply are available through the municipal office.
