Some eligible property owners may not realize that in order to ensure they are eligible for the lower tax rate in 1999, they must have their Farm Business Registration forms in by Aug. 31. As of Jan. 1, 1998 of this year, the farm tax rebate program was replaced by the new Farmland Taxation policy for farm properties. Under this policy, farm properties satisfying the eligibility requirements will be registered in the Farmlands Class, and will be taxed at 25 per cent of the municipal residential tax rate. • the property must be assessed as farmland; • the property must be part of a farming business generating more than $7,000 of gross farm income; • the farm business operating on the property must have a valid 1998 Farm Business Registration number; • the property must be owned by a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada. Ontario property owners with property assessed as "farmland" have already received their Farm Business Registration forms. The modified form includes the property roll number(s) and will be used to register the eligible farm properties for the Farmlands Class (25 per cent of the residential property taxation rate) status in 1999. It is critical that owners of farmland submit their registration forms by the deadline so that the information can be forwarded to the Ministry of Finance to ensure that all eligible farmland will be taxed appropriate in 1999. A toll free number is in operation for enquiries: 1-800-469-2285.
