Property taxes in Manitoba
Manitoba reassesses every property every two years — the 2025 and 2026 tax years use market values as of April 1, 2023, and the 2027 reassessment moves to April 1, 2025 values — with the province's assessment branch valuing everything outside Winnipeg and the city assessing its own. The school taxes on your bill are offset by the Homeowners Affordability Tax Credit: up to $1,600 off the school taxes on your principal residence in 2026, applied on the tax statement rather than claimed as a rebate cheque.

Manitoba's two-year cycle and the school tax credit
Manitoba sits between the annual provinces and the long-cycle ones: a general assessment every two years, each pegged to a reference date two years earlier. Provincial assessment services handle every municipality except Winnipeg, which runs its own assessment department; both apply the same legislation. If you disagree with a value, the route is an application to your local Board of Revision — the deadline and process are on your assessment notice, and it's worth moving quickly because the windows each fall are short.
The relief story changed in 2025: the old education property tax credit and rebate cheques were replaced by the Homeowners Affordability Tax Credit, which simply reduces the school taxes on your principal residence — up to $1,500 in 2025 and $1,600 in 2026, capped at your actual school taxes. It applies to principal residences only, not cottages or rentals, so owners of a second property still pay full school taxes there.
