Small Business Classification Applications Open

The County of St. Paul has a Non-Residential Small Business Sub-Class Bylaw (2022-20) which allows non-residential properties to be divided into sub-classes.

This Bylaw applies to small business property owners who run a business with (fewer than 10 full time employees across Canada), or who have a business leasing their property. Property owners can apply for a reduced property tax rate for the 2025 Tax Year. The property cannot be vacant and must have an assessable improvement. The tax rate will be determined annually by Council.

To apply for the non-residential small business property tax rate, an annual application form is required to be completed. The deadline to submit your application is December 31st, 2024. Eligibility requirements must be met for an application to be approved.

Find the form here or pick up at the County Administration Office.

Should you have any questions regarding this Bylaw or the application form, please contact Crystal St. Arnault at 587-465-1506 or email [email protected]
