Property Tax Assistance Available

Hamilton offers property tax assistance programs for eligible residents, with applications due March 2, 2026.

The Seniors Property Tax Rebate provides tax relief for qualifying seniors and includes an additional Utility Rebate for residents with active metered water accounts.

If you've already applied and received the rebate in 2025, you're automatically re-enrolled for 2026—no new application needed. However, if your circumstances change and you no longer meet eligibility criteria, you must notify the City.

Some applicants may be asked to re-apply to confirm ongoing eligibility.

Application forms and full program details are available at hamilton.ca/tax or by contacting the City's tax department at 905-546-2424.
