All Day

The Residential Multi-Unit Tax Incentive is a four-year program. The program offers a 100% municipal property tax exemption in the first year, a 75% exemption in the second year, a 50% exemption in the third year, and a 25% exemption in the fourth year. To qualify, the property must be zoned Residential Multi-Unit, have a minimum $400,000 increase in assessed value resulting from new construction or expansion, have a minimum of four units or dwellings, be located within the geographic boundaries of Fort Macleod, and have all necessary building and development permits.

The deadline for the Residential Multi-Unit Tax Incentive is May 15th of the year in which the requested exemption is to commence. Applications will be considered and approved by the Council, and if approved, a Tax Incentive Agreement will be drafted.

Overall, these tax incentives are aimed at stimulating economic growth in Fort Macleod by providing financial relief to businesses and property owners. By attracting new investment and encouraging the expansion of existing development, Fort Macleod hopes to strengthen its economy and create more opportunities for its residents.
