Following the notice issued Monday February 3rd, 2026 (which can be found here: [LINK]), staff have decided to re-issue the 2026 Annual Application for Senior’s Discount so that they have the correct information and phone number available to connect with Service Canada.
We also want to clarify: Seniors aged 65 and older can avail of a 1% discount on their 2026 tax bills if the sum is paid by a deadline. We also offer a different, 15% discount on residential property taxes for seniors receiving the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS). The latter discount will require proof of GIS which you can obtain by calling 1-800-277-9914. To qualify individuals must provide documentation confirming they are at least 65 during the current year and that there are no outstanding arrears. The 15% discount applies only to the current tax year.
With the re-issuing of the Annual Application for Seniors Discount as well as some reports of delayed delivery of tax bills, we have decided to move back the deadline for payments to receive a discount by two weeks to March 13, 2025. Please note this is available only for seniors.
For all property and business owners: You can see tax bills and explore payment options virtually by going to our virtual city hall portal at the link available here: [LINK]. Copies of your bill can also be made available for pickup at City Hall during the hours of 9:00 a.m. To 4:00 p.m., Monday to Friday.
Thank you for your patience. For further information, please contact financial services staff by emailing treasury@cornerbrook.com or by calling 709‑637-1500.
