Get 50% of the Property Taxes Paid in 2013 Back if you're a Senior with a Lower Income

	The Property Tax Rebate Program for Seniors is administered by Service Nova Scotia. It helps eligible seniors remain in their homes by providing an annual rebate on the municipal property taxes paid in the previous year. The rebate is capped at $800. Here's who qualifies for the rebate. Please note a senior must meet ALL these criteria. You were receiving either the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) or The Allowance in January 2014. To find out if you qualify for the GIS or The Allowance, call Service Canada at 1-800 277-9914. You are living in your home at the time you apply for the rebate and continue to reside in your home. Your previous year's property taxes were paid in full. Here's how to apply. Call Services Nova Scotia toll-free at 1-800-670-4357 and ask about the program. An application form can be mailed to you.
