I recently built a new home and have only received a property tax bill for the land. When can I expect a bill for the house?
New homes are typically sent a supplementary tax bill. Supplementary tax bills are mailed out the first week of October and due the last business day in December. Depending on the completion date of your home and/or if the home has been assessed, you may receive a tax bill for both the previous and current year.
If you no longer own the property, please forward the tax notice to the current owner or advise the City of Steinbach.
Properties that are not receiving the education tax credit must apply. To qualify, the property must be your principal residence; a single-dwelling unit; you must have occupied it as of January 1st; and you must not be receiving the credit for another residence. The deadline to apply for 2024 has passed. You may claim the Manitoba Education Property Tax Credit on your 2024 personal income tax return. Please contact the city to have it applied to future notices.
City of Steinbach tax bills cover the calendar year (January 1 - December 31).
New property owners are responsible for payment of property taxes whether or not they received a notice. Any property owner who does not receive a tax statement should contact the City Tax Clerk.
*Failure to receive a tax notice is not sufficient reason for late payment or non-payment; penalties will be applied.
If your property tax account shows a recorded interest from your bank / mortgage company, they are notified of amounts owing in July.
Receipts are not mailed out, as your processed cheque can serve as the receipt. If you require a receipt, please contact the City.

We accept cash, cheque or debit. Contactless payment methods are preferred for all in-person visits to City Hall.
Property taxes can be paid in-person at City Hall at 225 Reimer Avenue (there is also a 24 hour drop box), by mail, through the TIPP Program and online. Payment methods include cash (in-person) and one-time payment and post-dated cheques. The City does NOT accept payment by Credit Card.
When adding City of Steinbach as a payee, search “Steinbach”, select the Taxes option. Vendors are normally listed as ‘Steinbach,City Business/Realty Taxes’ or ‘Steinbach (City of) Taxes.’ Your account number is your roll number. Enter all digits (13) of the roll number, including the preceding 451 and all zeros. Do NOT enter the decimal (i.e. enter 4510001234000 for roll no. 451 0001234.000). To ensure your payment is received in time, and to avoid penalty, please be aware of the processing times required by your financial institution.
The Tax Installment Payment Plan (TIPP) is a payment plan that allows taxpayers to pre-authorize monthly payments for property taxes OR to pre-authorize an annual payment for the full amount on your tax statement in September each year.
Monthly payments are automatically withdrawn from your chequing account at your financial institution. Your monthly payment is calculated by dividing your most recent annual tax levy or an estimate of your current year tax levy into either twelve (12) installment payments or, depending on date of enrollment, the number of months remaining in the year.
The annual payment, for the full amount on your tax bill, is automatically withdrawn from your chequing account at your financial instution on the tax due date in September.
How does TIPP work?
Withdrawals occur on the first business day of each month and continue until December, or, if choosing the annual payment option, a withdrawal will occur for the full amount on tax due date in September. Written authorization must be received before the withdrawals will begin. The City of Steinbach does not charge interest or service fees for the TIPP program; however, normal bank service charges may apply.
Please notify the Tax Office of any changes to your bank information by providing a VOID cheque for the new bank account at least two weeks prior to the next payment date.

If you are a Manitoba resident who pays more than $250 of property tax in a year, you are entitled to a Manitoba Education Property Tax Credit (EPTC). This is true whether you are a homeowner who pays property tax directly, or a tenant who pays property tax indirectly through your rent.
To qualify for the Manitoba Education Property Tax Credit Advance, the property must be your principal residence; you must have occupied it as of January 1 of the current year; and you must not be receiving the credit for another residence.
Please contact the City at 204-326-9877 if you have recently moved and the above criteria is met. Homeowners who already receive the tax credit on their property tax statement are not impacted. Additional information can be found on the Province of Manitoba website https://www.gov.mb.ca/finance/tao/eptc.html
