The City of Toronto has expanded the Property Tax & Utility Relief programs, increasing the deferral and cancellation household income threshold for seniors and persons with disabilities by five per cent to $60,000, broadening access to support.

The programs are designed to alleviate financial strain and ensure eligible property owners can comfortably maintain their residences.

Qualified property owners are encouraged to apply online so the Canada Revenue Agency can verify household income without the need for additional income-related documentation. Alternatively, property owners or their representatives can submit a paper application form and any required documents by mail.

“This year, we changed the thresholds so more people can qualify for this program,” said Mayor Olivia Chow. “The City will continue to ensure Torontonians have access to affordable housing and essential services. Don’t hesitate to take advantage of these programs if you are eligible.”

The deadline to apply is Friday, October 31. To learn more about the programs and how to submit required documents, visit: Property Tax, Water & Solid Waste Relief – City of Toronto.
