Property tax refund for forest producers
As a certified forest producer under the Sustainable Forest Development Act who’s actively engaged in developing your woodlots, you can claim a refund for every assessment unit listed on your valid certificate.
The portion of the unit made up of the forest area must be registered with the Ministère de l’Énergie et des Ressources naturelles. You’ll also need a report from a forest engineer listing your eligible development expenses. These can be carried forward ten years, or claimed in any of the next ten years, as long as your expenses weren’t less than your refundable property taxes. If you didn’t get a property tax refund, you can carry them forward over five years if the expenses were from before December 31, 2013.
Note: The value of your land and the total value of your units are stated on the assessment roll in effect for the fiscal period of a municipality or school board.
