Redirecting your school taxes

To redirect your school taxes, you must complete the Application for direction of school support and possibly a lease.

What's a lease?

When one spouse is not a French-speaking Catholic or a Canadian resident, a lease must be signed between both spouses. This lease’s only purpose is towards the direction of school taxes. It does not affect the ownership of the property in any way whatsoever, nor will it be registered.
