Payment Options

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.

• Direct payments: Visit us to pay in-person at City Hall (cash, cheque, debit card, credit card).
• Pre-Authorized Payment Plans (PAP) - Apply for PAP online now
