The Ontario Farm Tax Reduction Program, designed to assist owners of farm properties by rebating a portion of their property taxes, has been greatly improved for 1984. As in past years, residences, farmland and outbuildings will continue to be assessed together. But the farm tax rebate will increase from 50 to 60%. And while the gross production value for eligibility will remain at $8,000 for the majority of the province, it will be reduced to $5,000 for northern and eastern Ontario (northern Ontario is defined as that area north of the southern boundaries of Haliburton and Muskoka. And eastern Ontario is the area east of the western boundary of Northumberland, Victoria and Peterborough counties). ; To hear more about these and the many additional pro- gram improvements, contact your local Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food Office. Application forms for the 1984 Farm Tax Reduction Program will be mailed during the summer of 1984, and will be accompanied by a brochure outlining the new program in more detail.
