2025 Property & Business Tax Information
Your 2025 property and business taxes are due September 29, 2025. Tax bills will be mailed at the end of August via Canada Post and are deemed to have been received by Friday, September 5, 2025.
Tax bills are usually mailed in June and due at the end of July, but there has been a change to 2025 only due to the introduction of the Provincial Homeowner Affordability Tax Credit (HATC). The City of Selkirk is allowing citizens enough time to ensure that they are registered for the tax credit, which is the reason for the change in date.
IMPORTANT TO NOTE: If you want to know if you will get the HATC, you can check your 2024 property tax bill to see if you received the Manitoba Education Property Tax Credit Advance (EPTCA). This would have been an amount of $350 or less.
If you received the EPTCA in 2024 and there has been no change in ownership of your property, you will automatically receive the HATC on your tax bill.
The sample 2024 property tax statements below show how the EPTCA appeared as a reduction to school taxes.
2024 property tax statement example
If you did not receive the EPTCA on your 2024 property tax statement, then you need to declare your principal residence with your municipality before July 15, 2025 to receive the HATC on your 2025 property tax statement if you have not already done so.
Homeowners that have not previously self-declared their principal residence with their municipality are encouraged to do so before July 15, 2025 to ensure that the HATC is applied to their property tax statement. The form is below and must be sent tot he City of Selkirk before July 15, 2025 by email, in person at the Civic Office Monday-Friday 10am-4pm or in the 24-hour drop box.

Set up pre-authorized payments!
Set it and forget it. Instead of paying one large lump-sum every July, budget with an Equal Payment Plan throughout the year.
You can even choose how much you pay every month. The best part is that it’s quick and easy to sign up!
NOTE: Please be advised that even though the period for Property taxes are for the fiscal year running from January 1-December 31, the property taxes within the City of Selkirk are due the last business day of September (2025 only). This is usually the last business day of July. When you enroll in the Pre-Authorized Payment Program, you are enrolling the year before for the next fiscal years taxes to ensure that the first payment will come out on August 5th to divide the amount of the payments into twelve equal months, building up as a credit on the account and then the credit applied when the taxes are due and owing. The City of Selkirk does not automatically adjust the Pre-Authorized Payments yearly, you will have to manually increase your payments every August to be sufficient for the next yearly increase of Property Taxes.
