What is the Seniors Education Property Tax Rebate?
For the 2008 tax year, Alberta Seniors and Community Supports are providing an annual rebate to assist senior homeowners with any increases in the education portion of their property taxes. Seniors remain responsible for paying their education property taxes in full by the due date indicated on the municipality’s property tax notice. Senior homeowners are eligible for a rebate to cover any increase over the 2007 education property tax paid on their residence, or begining in the year after the citizen reaches the age of 65. Questions about the education property tax rebate for seniors, including eligibility and how to apply, can be directed to the Alberta Seniors Information Line at 1-800-642-3853 (in Edmonton, 427-7876).
