McKillop discusses
development
McKillop council met with a
delegation from the Hart Ford-
Mercury Dealership about their
development near Seaforth at their
regular meeting on July 4.
The delegation and council re
viewed the site plan designed by
Brown Consulting and Design Ltd.
A member of the delegation, Jeff
Seddon, advised that the elevation
of the lot will be raised two and a
half feet above the proposed eleva
tion shown on the drawing. It wa»s
also decided that drainage for the
two acre development would be
outletted into the existing Law
rence Drain catchbasin located on
the southwest corner of the lot.
Council received a letter from the
Association of Municipalities of
Ontario (A.M.O.) requesting dona
tions towards a public communica
tions program. Council agreed to a
one-time special contribution of a
half cent per capita of population.
The road superintendent's vou
cher of $74,037.75 was paid and the
total general account bills of
$198,886.87 was also paid.
The Seal of the Corporation was
fixed on a by-law to execute a Site
Plan Agreement between the Cor
poration of the Township of McKil
lop and Hensail District Co-opera
tive Incorporated.
Continued from page 5
tee on Farm Assessment and
Taxation. Initially, the Program
provided a 25 per cent rebate on
the total property tax bill applicable
to the farmland, farm buildings and
residence. Since that time, the
level of assistance has gradually
increased. In 1987, the Program
was changed to provide a 100 per
cent rebate of the property taxes
applicable to farmland and out
buildings.
3. What changes are being made
to the Farm Tax Rebate Program?
The Farm Tax Rebate Program
will be targeted to property owners
who meet the gross production
requirement on property owned
and rented from other landowners.
The property owner must farm a
portion of the property to be
eligible for a rebate on that
property. Any property that is
rented to someone else will not be
eligible for tax rebate.
An off farm income offset will be
introduced to reduce the rebate
paid on a particular property at a
rate of five per cent of the taxes
paid for that property for every
$1,000 of the registered owner’s off
farm income above a base amount.
The base amounts are:
*For properties owned by one
person, $40,000.
♦For properties owned by two or
more persons, $60,000.
This will mean that the rebate
paid on a particular property will be
zero when off farm income reached
these levels:
♦For properties with one person
on title, $60,000.
♦For properties with two or more
on title, $80,000.
The off farm income offset will
help to target the program toward
those who are involved in full-time
farming activities while recogniz
ing that many farm properties are
owned by more than one person.
The interim payment will be
discontinued.
A comprehensive evaluation will
be undertaken to review the objec
tives and the future direction of the
Program prior to commencement of
the 1990 Program year.
4. Why is the off farm income
offset different when a property
has more than one person on title?
The off-set procedure recognizes
that properties owned by more than
one person could have a higher off
farm income reduction than proper
ties with single ownership. The
additional $20,000 in off farm
income allowed when a property is
owned by 2 or more persons will
take this into account. Farm fami
lies in which both spouses are on
title to the property and are both
working off the farm to assist in the
development of the farm operation
will benefit from the higher level.
5. Why are changes being made
to the Farm Tax Rebate Program?
The budget for the Farm Tax
Rebate Program has increased
significantly over the past few
years. Both farmers and non-farm-
ers have received benefits unde
the Program. The changes an
being implemented to ensure tha>
benefits flow only to those whose
occupation is farming.
6. Who will be affected by
changes to the Farm Tax Rebate
Program?
Owners of farm property who are
not engaged in agricultural produc
tion themselves will no longer be
eligible to receive a Farm Tax
Rebate. In addition, farm property
owners with off farm income above
the base rate will receive reduced
benefits under the Program.
7. Will retired farmers and their
spouses or spouses of deceased
farmers still be eligible to collect
the rebate even if they don’t farm
the land?
Yes they will, along with those
farmers who were required to
reduce production due to illness,
and those farmers who rent farm
parcels to their own farm opera
tions.
8. What saving will accrue as a
result of the changes to the Farm
Tax Rebate Program?
It is estimated that the changes
will result in savings of approxi
mately $27 million in the 1989/90
fiscal year.
9. Are the changes to the Farm
Tax Rebate Program permanent?
The Ministry has proposed the
changes to the Farm Tax Rebate
Program for the 1989 Program year
only.
10. How will the future of the
Farm Tax Rebate Program be
determined?
The Ministry is proposing to
conduct a comprehensive evalua
tion to determine the objectives
and future direction of the Pro
gram. This evaluation will be
completed prior to commencement
of the 1990 Program year.
11. Will there be an interim
payment?
The interim payment has been
based on the taxes paid to eligible
applicants in the previous year.
Since the eligibility criteria will
change in 1989, some of those who
received rebates in 1988 may not be
eligible for full rebate in 1989.
Consequently, an interim payment
will not be made. One payment will
be made to eligible applicants in
the fall.
12. When will the applications
for the Farm Tax Rebate Program
be available?
Applications will be mailed to all
owners of farm property during the
fall of 1989. Brochures will also be
available at that time.

the changes, you may wish to
