Pre-authorized payment plan details

Plan #1 – Ten Monthly Withdrawals

1/10th of the amount of your previous year’s taxes will be automatically withdrawn on the first day of each month from January through August. A letter indicating this amount will be mailed in early December.

In August, when the final tax amount for the year is levied, the monthly payment amount will be recalculated and a letter mailed to you. This new payment amount will be withdrawn on the first day of September and October. There is no longer a November 1st reconciliation payment or refund.

An application for the monthly plan must be received by November 30th for the following year, there is no mid-year enrolment.

Plan #2 – Four Withdrawals on the Due Dates

On each of four due dates, the end of March, May, August and October, the tax instalment will be automatically withdrawn from your bank account. An application for the due date plan must be received by the 15th of the month that the tax instalment is due.

Notes:

Taxes must be paid in full before enrolling in either plan.
You do not have to reapply every year.
For your information, you will continue to receive Interim and Final Tax Notices. These notices will be marked as being paid via ‘PAP’. For monthly PAP taxpayers, the balance shown as ‘Past Due’ on the tax bill is the amount on the account as of the day the bill was prepared, no payment is required.
If/when you sell your property, please notify the Town in writing to remove the preauthorization from the tax roll account.
