2010 Interim Taxation

Option for Deferral of Farmland Property Taxation

          The Council of the Municipality of Morris-Turnberry, in an effort to support  
            its agricultural taxpayers,  is providing the option to defer the 2010 farmland taxation until the fall
            of 2010.   

          The tax deferral does not include taxation on the farm residences, this part

         of the taxation will continue to be collected over the regular four instalments.

          The farmland tax deferral applies to all portions of the property tax bill such as:  municipal,
          county and education taxes.

          Morris-Turnberry  has 1,823 properties of which approximately  879 are assessed for farmland.

          The deferral of the 2010 farmland taxation will leave approximately  $398,269.29  in the Morris-
           Turnberry rural agricultural economy until the last quarter of 2010.
