Registered non-profit organizations that own or occupy a property in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo are encouraged to apply for a Property Tax Exemption. Applications are currently being accepted for the 2025 property tax exemption program.
Applications must be received by the Municipality by the end of September to be considered for the following taxation year. You can submit your application by email or mail using the address on the form.
Eligibility
Non-profit organizations that may be eligible for the Property Tax Exemption program include:
- sports and recreation organizations
- art and cultural associations
- fairs or exhibitions
- organizations used for charitable purposes
- museums
- thrift shops
- care and supervision of children
- organizations promoting languages
An organization must apply to be considered for an exemption. Eligibility is defined by provincial legislation outlined in the Community Organization Property Tax Exemption Regulation.
If a non-profit organization occupies more than one property for which they wish to seek an exemption, a separate application must be submitted for each property.
Organizations approved for an exemption last year will be contacted directly by mail with details on how to re-apply.
