Council granted approval for about 120 non-profit and religious organizations to receive property tax exemptions for up to three years (pending annual applications from the organizations) starting in 2021. Permissive tax exemptions are a means for Council to support organizations within the community that enhance quality of life and well-being. The total value of the exemptions in 2021 is expected to be $1.9 million and this amount is distributed among other property tax payers.
Last year’s recipients of permissive tax exemptions are listed in the 2019 annual report.
