Sicamous is poised for new growth as a place to live, work, invest and play.
We have a vision for our community that is focused on encouraging sustainability and growth for new business. We offer incentives to encourage economic growth, new investment and community redevelopment and revitalization.
The program provides tax exemptions on improvements only for properties located with within designated Tax Exemption Areas.
Tax Exemption thresholds determine the minimum construction value of properties, the term length of the exemption and the eligible tax exemption amount for each Exemption Area.
