• Penalty charges of 1.25% of the late installment are added on to all tax accounts if tax payments are not in the Township office by close of business (4:30 pm) on the specified due date. It is the responsibility of the ratepayer to ensure that the payments are delivered to the Township office on time.
• Interest of 1.25% is also added to all past due taxes on the first day of every month.

Supplemental Tax Bills are generated as a result of a change to your property during the taxation year.  

Supplementary and Omitted tax bills are in addition to any other tax bills issued.

A supplementary tax bill can be issued for any but not limited to the following reasons:

1. New Construction
   Your house/building was recently built and the value of the structure was not previously billed to you.
2. Improvements/Additions to Property
   Renovations/improvements were done to the property that has increased the assessment value, and this increase was not previously billed to you.
3. Reclassification

These bills follow the Property Assessment Change Notice issued by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC).

Legislation allows the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) to assess a property for the current year and up to two previous years.

Each bill includes the effective date and reason for the change.
