As of January 1, 1998 of this year, the farm tax rebate • program was replaced by the new Farmland Taxation policy policy for farm properties. Under this policy, farm properties satisfying the eligibility requirements will be registered in , the Farmlands Class and will be taxed at 25 per cent of the municipal residential tax rate. Those requirements are: i • the property must be assessed as farmland; i , • the property must be part of a farming business gen- u crating more than $7,000 of gross farm income; • the farm business operating on the property must have a valid 1998 Farm Business Registration number; T' • the property must be owned by a Canadian citizen or , a permanent resident of Canada.
