Grants in Lieu of Taxes

Section 3 of the Municipal Grants Act provides for the payment of grants-in-lieu of taxes on eligible provincial property. The grants paid are equal to full taxes that would be paid if the property were taxable. Provincial properties in respect of which no grant is paid are hospitals and health care facilities, educational institutions, facilities for the permanent display of art and cultural and historical information including historical sites, water and sewage systems other than on-site systems, and property of an agency, authority, board, commission, or Crown corporation, or those of the Minister of Community Services pursuant to the Housing Act. In addition, a grant-in-lieu of taxes is paid equal to 100 percent of full taxes with respect to the residential property of post-secondary educational institutions and hospitals.
