Monthly property tax payments can be easily made through the Town’s Pre-Authorized Payment Plan.

INTEREST ON PREPAID TAX INSTALLMENTS
Regardless of the payment method, interest is credited to your account in the same way. Beginning in August each year, the Town will begin paying monthly interest on your pre-payment account balance. The rate used is 2.5% below prime. This interest is considered a tax discount by the Canada Revenue Agency and is tax-free to you.
