Pre-authorized Payment:

We are pleased to offer you the convenience of a Pre-authorized Payment Plan. This voluntary plan offers you an easy, time-saving way to have tax payments automatically deducted from your bank account. This payment method is free of charge.

It means eliminating the chore of writing cheques and ensuring your payment reaches us by the due date. There are no service charges or fees for enrolling in the plan. All that’s required is completing and submitting the Authorization and Agreement Form for the plan, along with a void cheque.

Budget Schedule

Tax account must be paid in full by November 1st of each year.
Accounts will be reviewed each year by the Treasury Department staff to determine monthly payments required. Tax billings will continue to be issued quarterly. Pre-authorized payments will be deducted: weekly; bi-weekly; monthly. Late or missed payments will result in a 1.25% penalty, which will be added to your account. After two missed payments (or returned payments) the customer forfeits the right to continue on this budget plan and the balance owning must be paid in full.
