Farm Tax Program

As a farmland owner in Ontario, you may be eligible to apply for a property tax reduction through the Farm Property Class Tax Rate Program (Farm Tax Program).

If approved, an eligible applicant under this program would have;

• Farm residence and one acre of surrounding land taxed at the residential tax rate (RT)
• The remainder of the farm assessment on the property taxed at 25% of the residential tax rate, which is the farm tax class rate (FT)

Note: Farm properties that do not qualify under the program are taxed at the residential tax rate (RT).

This program is administered through Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) with Agricorp. You may also visit their website for further information at http://www.omafra.gov.on.ca/english/policy/ftaxfacts.htm#application
