Proposed Amendments regarding Property Tax Treatment of Renewable Energy Installations

Regulatory amendments are being proposed to Ontario Regulation 282/98 with  

the objective of:

• providing greater clarity and certainty to the property tax treatment of renewable energy installations for property owners, municipalities and the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation; and

• ensuring that property tax does not act as a disincentive to energy generation, particularly small-scale generation by persons who are not ordinarily in the business of generation.

The proposed amendments are open for public comment until August 29, 2011.
