Tax Information: 

Interim Tax by-law will be considered at the January 25, 2010 Regular Meeting of Council (see the proposed by-law click here) 

Taxes are calculated utilizing the assessment value of the property, as set by the Regional Assessment Office, and then multiplied by the Tax Rate, as set  by the Municipality.  There are currently four installments billed annually.

The first billing of the year is mailed at the end of January or beginning of February  and the amount of taxes are based on 1/2 of the total amount billed in the previous year. You will only receive one bill consisting of 2 payments which are usually due at the end of February and end of April.

The final billing for taxes is mailed out at the end of July or beginning of August. The final tax billing includes the balance of the taxes due for the current year minus the interim billing and includes a breakdown of municipal and education levies. The due dates for each installment is usually the end of August and end of October. Your tax bill will give you the exact dates each installment is due. 

A penalty of 1.25% will be imposed on each installment or part thereof remaining unpaid after the due date and on the first day of each month in the current year and an interest rate of 1.25% imposed thereafter until such time as the tax account paid is up to date. 

If you have any questions regarding your taxes please call the Municipal Office at 683-4545.
