An important message from the SRPEI Board of Directors:
The Government of PEI has announced a rate increase of $0.20 per $100 of assessed value for all non-commercial property, to $1.70 per $100 for the 2026 calendar year. Non-Resident owners pay this full rate, unreduced by tax credits made available only to Residents of PEI. While we recognizes the province is forecasting a record $409.9 million deficit (3.5% of GDP - the highest relative deficit in Canada), we have concerns that seasonal non-resident owners are being looked at by the government as an easy way to close revenue shortfalls.
Our Next Steps
We are currently following up with the provincial government to ensure your concerns are heard. We are advocating for a more transparent process and seeking to ensure we are considered a key stakeholder in future budgeting cycles.
The Strength of Our Association
This development underscores the vital importance of having a strong, unified association to advocate for the rights and interests of all seasonal residents. Given the current deficit situation, there may very well be additional efforts to single us out to raise revenue. Now, more than ever, our collective voice matters. We encourage you to spread the word to your neighbors and friends. By growing our membership, we strengthen our ability to influence policy and protect the benefits of owning property on the Island. Please direct prospective new members to our website at www.srpei.org.
The Chambers of Commerce across Prince Edward Island have come together to deliver a province-wide Shop Local P.E.I. campaign aimed at encouraging people to help sustain the Island’s economy. Their website includes a business directory that is searchable by business category and region of the island. As we know seasonals from all walks of life are deeply embedded in and contribute significantly to the PEI economy and this is a great resource we can use to help support local businesses! Check it out at www.shoplocalpei.ca
"You never know what peace is until you walk on the shores or in the fields or along the winding red roads of Prince Edward Island in a summer twilight when the dew is falling and the old stars are peeping out and the sea keeps its mighty tryst with the little land it loves. You find your soul then. You realize that youth is not a vanished thing but something that dwells forever in the heart."
