Receiving your Tax Bill:
Property owners will receive a tax bill by postal mail twice a year. The first bill or "Interim Tax Bill" is issued in February and is based on 50% of the previous year's taxes. The second bill, the "Final Tax Bill" is issued in July. These tax bills will be sent, at minimum, 21 days prior to the due date. It is important to make sure that we always have your current mailing address on record so that you receive your tax bills and do not incur penalties for late payments. If you do not receive your tax bill please let us know.
If you are on a pre-authorized payment plan, or a mortgage plan, you will still receive a tax bill in the mail and this method of payment will be noted on the tax bill.
Account Balance, Transactions and Copy of Tax Bill
Your original tax bill that we mail out is your official income tax receipt. Balance summaries and/or transaction details can be provided to owners noted on title, however fees may apply. Duplicate copies of tax bills can also be provided for owners noted on title.
