Tax Rebate and Incentive Programs

The Town of East Gwillimbury offers a Seniors, Low-income Seniors, and Low-income Disabled Homeowners deferral program. This program allows for qualifying homeowners to defer the increase of their taxes from one year to the next, interest free until the time in which the home is sold or change of title occurs. All deferral monies must be repaid to the Town of East Gwillimbury at that time.
