The deadline for Selkirk residents to pay their property tax bills in 2025 has be pushed back to Sept. 29.
According to the City of Selkirk, tax bills will be mailed out at the end of August and due Sept. 29, 2025.
The city is deferring the property tax deadline to ensure eligible residents can access the new Homeowners Affordability Tax Credit (HATC) by registering in advance of tax bills being sent out.
Tax bills are normally mailed out in June and due at the end of July.
Province Introduces New Homeowners Affordability Tax Credit
The Province of Manitoba has replaced the Education Property Tax Credit (EPTC) with the HATC, which applies to municipal school taxes on principal residences.
Anyone who received the EPTC last year should automatically have the new HATC applied to their 2025 property tax bill because your property would have been registered as your primary residence.
Anyone who moved into a new home in 2025 can declare their principal residence by July 15, 2025, which will then have the HATC applied when Selkirk prints its tax bills.
