Frequently Asked Questions

Property taxes are billed two times a year, with two installments on each billing:

• January billing (payments due in February and May): These are interim payments,  based on 50 percent of the prior year's annualized taxes and bills, to fund services early in the year.
• July billing (payments due in August and October): These are final payments, calculated after the Municipal budget is approved, and will reflect any changes in the tax rate.

Haven't received your tax bill and the due date is drawing near? Please call at 519-369-2200 ext. 230 to discuss. Failure to receive a tax bill does not relieve the taxpayer from payment of taxes nor from liability of penalty for late payment.

Utilities are billed on a quarterly basis, in January, April, July, and October; payments are due at the end of the billing month.

Supplemental tax bills are issued when there has been a change to your property, such as a new home, an addition, or a new garage or shed. You should have received a notification from the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) about changes to your assessment. For more information, contact MPAC:
