TIPP Payments

In 2024 the Province of MB applied the School Tax Rebate directly to the Property Tax Bill. This may have lowered monthly Tax Installment Payment Plan (TIPP) payments significantly for the second part of 2024. The January 2025 recalculation will be adjusted back to a higher amount based on your 2024 levy. To calculate the 2025 monthly payments, divide your 2024 tax amount by 12.

For more information, please contact the Tax Department at (204) 239-8308.
