Non-Designated Heritage Properties
Non-designated properties are included on the Township’s Heritage Register because they may have cultural heritage value or interest. Being listed does not provide the same level of protection as designation. However, certain requirements under the Ontario Heritage Act apply to listed properties, including requirements related to the removal or demolition of buildings or structures.
Below is a list of Listed properties in the Township:

Heritage Property Tax Relief Program
This program provides a tax relief to eligible property owners to help maintain and restore their heritage properties. The tax relief is (applicable to the municipal tax levy only) between 20% and 40% to owners of eligible heritage properties.
For properties to be eligible for tax relief, the property must have a designated structure under the Heritage Act. Owners would enter into an agreement with the Township which would protect the heritage features of their property and encourage good stewardship. All applications will be reviewed and approved by the Selwyn Municipal Heritage Committee.
