Tax and Utility Bill Relief Program: Apply by October 31!

Are you a low-income senior or low-income person with a disability who owns a home in Toronto? You may qualify for financial relief on your property tax and utility bills. The City’s relief programs are available to help ease financial strain and make sure eligible property owners can comfortably maintain their residences.

You can apply online or submit a paper application. When you apply online, your household income is verified by Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), so you don’t have to submit additional income-related documents. You can access a paper application form here or call 311. Paper applications can be mailed or dropped off at a Tax and Utility counter at City Hall or a civic centre. The mailing address is City of Toronto, Revenue Services, Property Tax Rebates, 5100 Yonge St., Toronto, ON M2N 5V7. The deadline to apply is Friday, October 31. 

You must apply each year, as household income and other eligibility requirements need to be verified annually. You can call 311 for Tax and Utility Relief Program information from Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 4pm. Outside Toronto, call 416-392-2489. For deaf and hearing-impaired service call 711. You can also inquire by email at [email protected].

It has been a tremendously busy summer! Between Pride and FIFA on one end, the final Toronto and East York Community Council and City Council of the term later this month on the other, and the ongoing Church Street Pedestrianization Pilot, my team and I have been working hard to continue delivering results. Despite the stress, despite the heat, and especially despite the province’s ongoing work to make the City of Toronto miserable, for this final proper Councillor Update of the term, I want to provide positive vibes only.

The celebration on Church Street continues! The Church Street Pedestrianization has officially launched, with the Church-Wellesley Village Business Improvement Area (BIA) and my team installed patios and more seating on Church Street post-Pride to make it an even better place to visit. The pedestrianization lasts until August 21, so come on out and experience The Village like never before, enjoy the beautiful weather, and help me advocate for more pedestrianization across the City and to make this pilot permanent!
