The Municipality generates two tax bills annually, which is broken into four due dates.

1. The INTERIM TAX BILL due dates are March 15th and May 15th.  The interim tax bill is based on 50% of the prior years' taxes.  The 2018 tax rates are available.

(Please note the 2018 Interim Property Tax installment dates are March 15, 2018 and May 15, 2018; not March 15, 2017 and May 15, 2017 as indicated on the installment tabs. 

If you would like a reprint of your 2018 Interim Property Tax Bill or have any questions, please contact finance@centralelgin.org or call 519-631-4860 ext. 280.)

2. The FINAL TAX BILL due dates are September 15th and November 15th.  The amount of the final bill is directly affected by the provincial government through Bill 79, the provincial bill regulating capping adjustments on commercial, industrial, and multi-residential property classes.  

 PAYMENT OPTIONS
  • Internet/Telephone banking. (Please use entire roll number starting with 3418 without any spaces or decimals when setting up this bill through your bank)
  • Mail (Cheque or money order only).  Post-dated cheques are accepted.  Please ensure that payment is mailed in sufficient time for us to receive it before the due date.
  • Pre-authorized Payment Plan: Monthly, Bi-Weekly or Installment options are available. To register, please return the PAP form, to our office.
  • In person at the municipal office (cash/debit/cheque) during regular business hours from Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm.
 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.
