LATE PAYMENTS

A 1.25% penalty immediately following the due date, and the first day of each month thereafter to December 31st. After December 31st, interest will be at 1.25% per month or portion thereof until paid, as legislated under SECTION 345 of The Municipal Act, RSO 2001.

Failure to receive a tax notice does not relieve the taxpayer from payment of taxes or penalty for late payment. The Municipality is not responsible for bank or postal processing delays. Please allow enough processing time for the payment to be received. A $5.00 charge will apply for tax bill reprints.

Payments are applied first to any penalty and interest with the balance of payment applied to the oldest year's tax amount.
