Annual municipal Property Taxes are generally due to be paid at the end of June each year. Tax Notices are mailed to all property owners in late-Spring, once municipal and school board mill rates have been set. It is important to note that:

  • 1% arrears penalties shall be added monthly and form part of taxes outstanding from prior years.
  • Taxes in arrears shall have a lien attached and are subject to tax enforcement.
  • January and February discounts may be available for pre-payments of current year municipal taxes based on prior year levies.

METHODS OF PAYMENT:

  • Direct payments: Pay in-person at City Hall (cash, cheque and debit card).
  • Tax Instalment Payment Service (TIPS)/Pre-authorized Payment Plan.
  • Online Banking: You can pay your taxes online through your financial institution using the Account Number for Online Banking located on the top, right corner of your Tax Notice.
    • Please check with your banking representative as to their procedure for processing payments by this method.
    • Allow at least 2 business days for your payment to be posted to your tax account.
  • SwiftConnect: Sign up for online billing and payment options. Please allow at least two business days for your payment to be posted to your tax card.
