Heritage Information
Current Designation Applications
Heritage Register - Non-Designated Heritage Properties
The Township of Selwyn maintains a Heritage Register that contains information on properties that are of heritage significance. Note: These properties have not been designated under Section 4 of the Ontario Heritage Act.
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.
