Late payments

There is no grace period for late tax payments. A penalty for non-payment will be added at a rate of 1.25 per cent of the instalment amount on the first day of default. In addition, interest will be added to unpaid taxes at a rate of 1.25 per cent per month on the first day of each month the account remains unpaid. Late payment penalties/interest cannot be removed by Council or staff. This policy is applied to all tax accounts to maintain fairness.

Payments made through your financial institution can take 3-5 business days to reach us which may result in the City not receiving your money until after the due date. Proof of payment will be required to correct this late payment issue.

Overdue notices will include a $5.00 administration fee.
