Penalties:

Payment in full must be received by the Township Office by the due date to avoid interest and penalty charges. A charge of 1.25% calculated on all outstanding amounts will be applied on the first day of each calendar month there after.  The Township is not responsible for mail or banking delays.

Failure to receive your tax notice does not relieve the taxpayer from payment nor from liability of penalty for late payment. lt is the owner's responsibility to notify the Township of any changes to their account.

NSF charges will apply to dishonoured payments and will be collected in the same manner as taxes.
It is the owner's responsibility to forward tax bills to a bank, insurance, or mortgage company if taxes are to be paid by the mortgagee.

The tax collector has no authority to waive or alter penalty and/or interest for any reason.

Tax Rates:

Section 357 (1) of the Municipal Act

Upon application to the Treasurer, in accordance with this section, the local Township may cancel, reduce or refund all or part of the taxes levied on land in the year in respect of which the application is made.
There are various reasons for tax adjustments under Section 354, 357, 358 and 359 such as property becoming exempt, roll numbers being cancelled by MPAC, buildings that have been demolished or razed by fire or demolition and properties that have been over-assessed by a gross or manifest clerical error. These tax adjustments do not relate to collection issues.
The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) assists with processing municipal tax applications by providing municipalities with the information they need to help Council determine whether a refund, cancellation, reduction, or increase is warranted.

Questions about your Property Assessment Notice?

Contact MPAC Customer Service for Property Assessment Inquiries

MPAC is the organization that classifies and assesses all properties in Ontario under the Assessment Act, and regulations established by the Provincial Government.  An assessment increase does not necessarily mean that your property taxes will increase. If you feel your assessed value or property classification is not correct, the deadline to file for a Request for Reconsideration (RfR) or an Appeal is March 31 of the tax year.

The assessed value of your property is used as the basis for calculating your property taxes.

For information on your assessment for the current taxation year or how MPAC assesses properties you may contact the Municipal Property Assessment Office (MPAC) at 1-866-296-6722.
