Tax assessments

Government changes property tax assessment policies to encourage renewable energy installations

The Ontario government is supporting property owners who install renewable energy technologies by improving property tax assessment policies for them.

On January 4, Ontario Regulation 282/98 under the Assessment Act was amended to provide greater clarity and introduce new rules governing the property tax treatment of renewable energy installations. The amendments apply to facilities that generate electricity using solar energy, wind energy, or anaerobic digestion of organic matter.

The changes will provide greater clarity by creating additional categories for property tax assessment based on the size and location of energy generation. The move will encourage property owners to continue to install and use renewable energy technologies.
