How to Make Payments

The Municipality of West Grey has a number of payment options for property tax and utility billing.

Payments must be received by the Municipality of West Grey by specified due dates to avoid penalty. A late payment charge of 1.25% is calculated on the amount outstanding and will be added to the property tax account on the first of each month.

For more information or if you have questions or comments, please contact the Finance Department.

Visit the municipal office during normal business hours to pay via cheque, cash, or debit.

West Grey accepts payments made through most banking institutions' telephone or online banking platforms. 

Many financial institutions offer the option to add West Grey Tax or West Grey Water as a payee and use your account number located on your tax bill.

Be sure to select the correct account (taxes or utilities) to ensure that the payment is applied.

Never miss a payment and avoid late fees by signing up for our pre-authorized payment plan. The payment will be automatically deducted from your bank account on the 15th of each month.

How it works:

With your permission, your payments are withdrawn automatically through your bank account. Your payments are recorded automatically on your bank statement. 

Pre-authorized payment plans are an easy and convenient method to make sure recurring bill payments are paid on time. 

Payments will be withdrawn on the 15th of the month or the next business day.  

Benefits

With a pre-authorized payment plan, you don't need to worry about missing a payment date or making a late payment. The amount will be automatically withdrawn.

Monthly payments also allow for easier budgeting. You can pay your taxes in smaller monthly installments instead of four larger installments on the tax due dates.
