Rural Landowner Programs
Manager Forest Tax Incentive Program (MFTIP)
The MFTIP is a voluntary program that provides lower property taxes to landowners who agree to certain conditions including preparing and following a managed forest plan for their forest. The plan must be approved by a person designated by the MNR as a Managed Forest Plan Approver. A searchable database of plan approvers is also available on the site.
Visit the Private Forests section of the Ministry of Natural Resources website for further information.
