The Final Tax Bills are mailed out the last week of May with two (2) Installments due the last week of June and the last week of September.

Failure to receive a tax bill does not eliminate the responsibility for the payment of the taxes and penalty.  If you are responsible for paying your taxes directly and have not received a tax bill, please contact the Tax Department at 905-852-9181 ext. 211 or 216.
 Payment Options

 My mortgage company pays my taxes, why did I receive a tax bill?
 Tax bills are mailed out to all property owners and are for your records.  You should see your mortgage company listed as a mortgage holder on the top of your bill.  If you do not, please contact your mortgage company.

 

Penalty Information 

Penalty and Interest Charges

Penalty and interest charges of 1.25 percent, as well as a $5.00 Past Due Statement Fee will be added to all Tax Installments not paid by the due date.

Penalty and interest charges are applied on the first business day of each month.  Council and staff do not have the authority to waive or alter penalty or interest charges for any reason.  This Policy is strictly applied to maintain fairness to all property owners.

Failure to receive a tax bill does not excuse a taxpayer from responsibility for payment.
I’ve received a Notice of Past Due Taxes, but the amount I need to pay is $5.00 higher than the interest charged?
Penalty is calculated at the rate of 1.25 percent on the first day of each month, and a $5.00 Past Due Statement Fee is added to the tax roll every time a notice is generated.
Returned Payments
Any cheque or Pre-Authorized Payment that is returned by your bank will result in an Administration Fee of $50.00 being added to your tax account.
