The first installment of the rebate will be at least one half of the estimated rebate for the year and will be paid to the eligible organization within 60 days of receipt of the application. The balance of the rebates will be paid within 120 days of receipt of the application.
 
Applications may be made after January 1 of the year and no later than the last day of February of the following year. The last day to file an application for the 2023 tax year is February 29, 2024.

If the organization receives a rebate in a year and then ceases to operate or moves out of the City of Sault Ste. Marie, the charity shall repay to the City a pro-rated amount of the rebate.
 
Applications are available online or from the Accounting and Tax Division. Applications should be submitted to the Accounting and Tax Division in person or by mail, email, and fax.
