POLICIES

Penalty and Interest Policy

Penalty/interest charges will be added to installments not paid by the due date at the rate of 1.25% on the first day of each month. Please be advised that council and Township staff do not have the authority to waive or alter a penalty and/or interest charge for any reason. This policy is strictly applied to all tax accounts to maintain fairness to all property owners.

Failure to receive a tax bill does not excuse a taxpayer from responsibility for payment nor relieve the assessed owner of liability for penalty due to late payment. Please ensure the tax department has your correct mailing address.

Returned Cheques Policy

Cheques and electronic transmittals returned by your financial institutions will result in an administration fee being added to your tax account. Please ensure that your cheques are properly completed and signed.
