2025/26 Rebate for Residential Property Owners
The Property Tax Rebate program helps lower-income households by providing property tax relief in the form of a rebate on the final tax bill. The application deadline is August 1, so the rebate can be applied to the final tax bill.

- Under $30,750 – maximum rebate value up to $680, up to 100% of the bill
