Property Taxes
Property Assessment Information is available from the Morden Provincial Assessment Branch at:
101 - 11th Street
Morden, MB R6M 2B3
Phone: 204-822-2900
and can also be obtained through the Government of Manitoba website at
www.gov.mb.ca/assessment.
Property values are determined by the Assessment Branch and are based on market values. When reviewing your assessment, compare it to other similar properties, ask yourself whether or not you would sell it for the assessed value, and contact the Assessment Branch for more detail. If you disagree with the assessed value, you can appeal your assessment through the annual Board of Revision. The R.M. of Roland Board of Revision is normally held in November each year. The date and deadline for receipt of appeals will be advertised in advance.
Property Tax Payments are due by October 31 each year.
Payment Options:
- Post-dated cheques for October 31
- Municipal Pre-Authorized Payment Plan; contact the Municipality to sign up.
- Telephone and Online Banking through TelPay, Royal Bank, Scotiabank, and CIBC.
Contact your Branch for information.
Tax payments received after the due date will be subject to overdue charges at a rate of 1.25% per month, beginning November 1, and on the first day of each month thereafter, until paid.
