Penalties for late payments
Non-payment of mandated property taxes directly impacts the delivery of municipal services. The City’s Tax Rate Bylaw 1958-20 outlines a fee schedule for late property tax payments. Late payment penalties will be applied to accounts with an outstanding balance as follows:
- July 1, 2021 – 9 per cent of any unpaid current tax levy
- Oct. 1, 2021 – 6 per cent of any unpaid current tax levy
- Jan. 1, 2022 – 15 per cent of any unpaid tax balance
Choose from a variety of payment options
A number of options are available for paying municipal property taxes – pay by cash, cheque, Interac, or by making a payment at any local financial institution.
Please note that credit cards are not accepted for property tax payments at this time.
In addition, property owners whose accounts are in good standing may apply for the pre-authorized tax payment plan, which allows owners to pay their property taxes directly to the City in monthly instalments from January until December without incurring late payment penalties. Payments are automatically withdrawn from your bank account on either the 1st or the 15th of each month.
