Extending 2023 Application Due Dates for Property Tax and Utility Relief programs for Low-Income Seniors and Low-Income Disabled Persons - by Councillor Anthony Perruzza, seconded by Councillor James Pasternak

May 11, 2023
Description

In 2020, 2021, and 2022 Toronto City Council elected to extend the application due date for the City's property tax, water and solid waste relief programs for low-income seniors and low-income disabled persons from August 31 to the end of October. Low-income seniors and low-income disabled persons may have been disproportionately affected by lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and inflation. In order to ensure that all eligible residents have ample opportunity to apply for this relief in 2023, it is recommended that the application due date for 2023 be extended from August 31, 2023 to October 31, 2023 for the 2023 tax year.
