How can a CRA tax abatement help me?
If you are a business, homeowner or landlord who would like to build, expand or substantially rehabilitate a building, a CRA real property tax abatement can result in a significant annual savings to you over a period of 10-15 years. The tax savings keeps more money in your pocket that you can invest in your project.

If you are someone who does not have plans to improve your property, you will indirectly benefit from the CRA program because it will encourage improvement of other Xenia properties as well as business attraction and expansion, which can improve the value of your property as well as Xenia’s general quality of life.
