four year cycle proposed for assessments in Manitoba
Rural Development Minister Len Derkach announced a plan to shift Manitoba property re assessments from a three year to a four year cycle to stabilize and streamline tax collection. The proposal includes limiting appeals to owner consent, a single appeal per assessment, clearer railway roadway definitions, and strengthened commercial property requirements, aiming to reduce backlogs for Winnipeg and protect ratepayers while maintaining access to appeals.
