Updated Low-Income Property Tax Exemption Policy Supports More MODY Property Owners
On February 22, 2023, the Municipality of the District of Yarmouth (MODY)’s Low Income Exemption Policy was amended with the goal of supporting even more property owners. Specifically, eligible low-income property taxpayers are now able to receive a partial tax exemption from MODY, regardless of any federal or provincial property tax rebates received. This allows applicants to benefit from the municipality’s partial tax exemption, as well as any rebates received from other levels of government.
