Manitoba Treaty Land Entitlement Agreement
Municipal Tax Loss Compensation Application Form and Guidelines

The Province is pleased to announce that provincial compensation will be provided to municipalities who experience a net loss of municipal tax revenue upon conversion of land situated within the municipality to reserve under the Manitoba Treaty Land Entitlement Framework Agreement. An application form (pdf) and guidelines are provided to ensure that all eligible municipalities can readily access the Municipal Tax Loss Compensation.

Compensation will be paid directly to those municipalities demonstrating a net loss in municipal tax revenues as a result of conversion of land to reserve status in an amount equivalent to five times (5x) the annual net loss at the time of conversion. Upon approval, a one-time payment will be made to eligible municipalities after the land converts to reserve.

Should you require any additional information or assistance to complete the application, both Manitoba Aboriginal and Northern Affairs and Manitoba Intergovernmental Affairs officials will be available to support your municipality. Contact information is provided in the application (pdf) and guidelines.
