​If you are a registered charity as defined in section 248(1) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and occupy commercial or industrial property in Toronto, you may be eligible for a rebate on your property tax. Information about the City of Toronto's property tax rebate program for registered charities is available here: http://bit.ly/NuBbtN.

For the 2013 taxation year, the deadline to apply for this rebate is February 28, 2014.

If you are a charity outside of Toronto, you should check whether your region has a similar program and whether the deadline is also the end of February.
